Yeasayer - most psychedelic rock show I've seen in a while.

I can't say enough about this great young band from Brooklyn, Yeasayer. The first time I listened to the record, all I was left with was this need to tell people how interesting I thought the music was...that may not sound like the highest compliment, but I'm so inundated with crappy poppy indie rock all the time. When I heard Yeasayer I knew these guys were on to something..

Finally got to see them live the other night and holy shit...they put on an EXTREMELY psychedelic show...it's not just the lights and the visuals, but even their playing style, and the way they sort of seamlessly mix prerecorded tracks with live performance...the Indian guitar player is some sort of evil snake...can't take yer eyes off of him when he's playing that guitar with sitar-style riffs.

They're a hard band to pin down...one minute they were spacy, totally out there, and two minutes later I'd think, "geez, this sounds like something I would hear on K-Rock..."

Anyway...check em out. Here's the first track off their debut album All Hour Cymbals. It's called "Sunrise".

I dig it man, I'm always looking for different music with talent. Voice is kinda weird on this song, but I bet its pretty cool live.

Nah that's not true at all..if you check out the "Indie Albums Thread" TrippinTeddy made there's a link to download it there and pretty much everyone posting in that thread has listened to them I'd say. I'm pretty sure tiny rabid birds went to see them.

oh my mistake then. i really have no idea how well known they are. i really like them a lot though. i think i've listened to their album probably five times this week.

i definitely wish i could have gone to one of those shows up in NY. i had a feeling their shows might be something special.

nice...cat's cradle is the last date, and that's my favorite music venue by far. you should see a show there if you ever get the chance. there's a lot of history in that building.

i've never seen man man either. that might be kind of cool.

I thought the Wex (place they're playing here in CBus) handed out a flyer that had that show listed, but I checked their site and it wasn't on there. I know nothing of either Yeasayer or Man Man, but I hear the names a lot so I guess I'll check 'em out to see if I wanna go to the show.

What'dya think of Vampire Weekend, by the way? I really enjoyed their show.

I said somewhere else that Man Man is like watching a bunch of pirates on acid performing a musical on the deck of a ship in stormy seas.

Oh man you should definitely check both bands out. Both are a lot of fun recorded but a great deal exciting live too. I thought Vampire Weekend was all right. Lots of energy, but not you know...the second coming. It was good.

Good, I'm always looking for good live shows, and the Wex is never too expensive.
I really enjoyed VW's singer's presence between songs, and their opener definitely exceeded my expectations. Sam Buck Rosen... I think they're from NYC.


Listening to these Yeasayer tracks right now, I'm diggin' this. Thanks for the uploads.

This is some added on shit they do at the end of the first track I posted...just a short clip from somebody's cell phone. I haven't looked around at their stuff on YouTube a lot.

yeah, i saw yeasayer with MGMT at the Local 506 about a month back now. local 506 is, if anything, low-budget. so there wasn't a lot of psychedelic visualizations or lighting when i saw them. however, i can definitely attest to the guitar riffs taking you on a trip. very fun band to see live.

and i talked to the lead singer and drummer for a while after the show. seemed like really cool, down to earth guys.

I don't get why...it's not even a genre, it's just a label people slap on to music that has lost all meaning if you ask me...there is so much different, varied music under that one umbrella title of "indie rock" that to avoid that entire group of music is a great way to miss out on a lot of good stuff. There is amazing music being made in this day and age.
