Adam Green and The Dead Trees SXSW 2010

Ok, now the reverse! I wasn't blown away by the music, but the show on stage was superb! Finding out Adam was wearing women's underwear was maybe more information than I needed, but he was damn entertaining. I don't think Adam stopped moving the entire set. He was dancing and flailing all over the place (I was worried for the bassist at one point)! And I love the stage dive into the audience midway into the set and the big ending where he dove into the crowd again and then stood up on the crowd! Awesome show!

Mayer Hawthorne & the County

Mayer Hawthorne's & the County laid down the blues at the Rock and Roll Hotel! This show restored my faith in being able to see a good sold out show at the Rock and Roll Hotel. Even though the show was just as packed as the We Were Promised Jetpacks show the sound was so much better. I had a big guy in front of me (nice guy) so I couldn't see all that well, but the sound, the sound!, the sound was awesome!
I had never seen a Mayer Hawthorne show before, so I was pleasantly surprised with his musical range and the band's on stage presence and banter. The sound, the music, the audience - all great. All in all it was just a great show and a wonderful evening. I say run out and get his album, A Strange Arrangement, now!

The National new album High Violet

The National has posted the cover art of the new album, High Violet (dropping May 11th), and a link to one of the songs (05 - Afraid of Everyone).
You can also download Bloodbuzz Ohio from the album web site.
Both awesome! Sounds like classic The Nationals to me. Can't wait for the album!

The set list as posted on the website is:
Terrible Love Sorrow Anyone's Ghost Little Faith Afraid of Everyone Bloodbuzz Ohio Lemonworld Runaway Conversation 16 England Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks
