overdue concert pics
I've been meaning go get these up for a while and never got around to it. The last couple months have been really good for shows. Especially for Tampa.
The Ted Leo show was amazing. Standing there watching it, you get the feeling that you're experiencing something you'll be able to tell your kids about someday. They were that good.
Maggi, Pierce, and E.J. was just one of those rare finds. I heard them by chance on WMNF doing a live in-studio performance and decided to go see them live. They are a mostly folk, sometimes rock group from Pennsylvania and they are good. Lots of great three part harmonies.
Tegan & Sara put on a pretty good show as well. I can't say that I've ever been to a show with that many lesbians in the audience. Or just women in general. It was odd. I didn't really like the two opening acts, Vivek Shraya and Rachel Cantu. They just didn't do anything for me.
Xiu Xiu was good too. Very unique sound and vocals. Wasn't able to stay for their whole set, because it was going too late and I had to get some rest. I would definitely go see them again though.
Jack Williams was very enjoyable. This was the last Under the Oaks house concert. He is an incredible guitar player and a really funny guy. That melody he does at the end is quite impressive.
As always click on the images for the rest of the pictures. Next year is shaping up to be good too. Here's a list of the good ones that I've already heard of.
