Kat and I got to see Palomar and My Teenage Stride last night at Union Hall. It was a great show. I’d seen Palomar several times about five years ago. But the funny thing is their bass player’s boyfriend is now a coworker of mine and they live right down the street. It was good to see them again. Â Apparently they haven’t been playing as much as they used to so I’m glad I got to go.
It was pretty packed in the basement. Â Palomar had gotten a mention in one of the AM/Metro papers. Â It might have sold out, actually. So good for them. Â They were fun, just like I remembered.
My Teenage Stride
My Teenage Stride’s show was amazing. I had seen them before last year at NYC Popfest and had bought their album.
I don’t know if their sound has changed. Maybe it’s their new bass player, but they blew me away. I felt like I had learned something about how to compose a song. They have three guitar players each doing their own thing and the bass is what’s keeping the song together. I guess that doesn’t come through as much on the album which is mixed more traditionally.
Also ran into Courtney, the queen of the twee scene again. Kat and I saw her at the last show we went to as well, Peggy Pains’ Birthday Extravaganza. If I do this enough times, maybe she’ll remember me. 😉
