So AB concerts had 6 choices: Broken Social Scene, Spoon, Sonic Youth, My Morning Jacket, Blackalicious, and some other band I've never heard of. In my view, that's a 4/6 shot of bringing a pretty good show, with Blackalicious and the other band being the not-so-awesome choices. And they picked Blackalicious. Maybe I shouldn't say anything; I don't know from Blackalicious. But come on, any of the other 4 would be so cool.
But it turns out the opener is Andrew Bird! And I don't know about you, but to me, the concert he played out at Point State Park was one of the best concerts I can remember. That should be a cool show. Way to go AB concerts for appealing to everyone.
Of course, it overlaps entirely with an NPP show, but that's a different matter...
honestly though, a Spoon show would be just be a smaller version of the Shins show, as much as I love Spoon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Blackalicious is cool because it's tracks generally lack the violence most other rap acts do.
ReplyDeleteI really like Blackalicious, actually. Though you're right, any of them (especially Sonic Youth or My Morning Jacket) would have been rockin.
