Went to a Dirty Projectors concert tonight in Kreuzberg, just down the street from our apartments.
Cool venue--Festsaal Kreuzberg. Three disco balls, two bars, balcony, red curtain, courtyard. 78% of the people there spoke English, and I'd say 40% were from NYC. Basically we were in Williamsburg.
The opening act was Tuneyards. This girl was COMPLETELY CRAZY. She was so bold and alive and enjoying her time on stage--really a great performer. She used a loop machine to record her voice, drum beat, or her own beat boxing for each song...which made me thing of my talented good friend James Monaco who is probably making some really great music right now.
The Dirty Projectors played for over an hour with two encores. You should check them out if you don't know them. They are doing some really cool stuff. The three girls have this amazing pipe organ sound that they produce as they intermingle their voices at all sorts of ranges. The group is so good looking too. Relaxed. Having a great time, and enjoying each other's talents.
Two bands worth listening too. Word.
