Yeasayer!

The Yeasayer show was almost two weeks ago.

When we got there, the first opening act was wrapping up. It was this German rapper/singer called Hush Hush... This guy looked terrible - tall, skinny, balding but with a long reddish beard to compensate. He was terrible - he sang songs about girls having their periods and girls licking his asshole like a donut. Apparently, his parents were in the crowd... I really hope they do not speak English. At one point, two 'dancers' went up on stage and proceeded to jiggle around the stage. One of them was Indian and we could only imagine her poor, hard-working parents and all the sacrifices they made to come here and now their daughter is pulling out red stuff out of her underwear to simulate her period.

The second act, The Smith Westerns, were not much better. They reminded me of a bands from 80s and 90s movies from the prom scenes.

Yeasayer was good. They played most of the good songs, but skipped I Remember because they fucked up the setlist or one of the instruments fucked up. They also played three new songs that were pretty awful...
