Tonight: Manchester Orchestra, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Kings of Leon at 5000 seat or so historic Ryman Auditorium, Nashville.
Manchester: Heavy KOL influence, also noticeable My Morning Jacket stylings. Lead singer intense, fun, lyrics introspective. Drummer awesome.
BRMC: Honestly? This band was lots better when it was Jesus and Mary Chain. I know they're trendy right now, but...zzzzzz
KOL: Kicked ass. I cannot believe these boys are all like 25, 26 years old. Played most of "Times" and a lot of stuff off "Aha." Apparently they're already writing album #4. "Knocked Up" was transcendent as was "Black Thumbnail", which may be one of my all time favorite tracks of the year. Sound much more polished than Bonnaroo...crowd totally insane. Seriously, I have never seen everyone on their feet for an entire show at this venue before. Go check 'em out if they come to your town.
