Ronan and I hit the road last night to see The New Pornographers last night up at the 9:30 Club in Washington DC. It’s the first time in a while that the whole studio band was out on tour. The show sold out before the tickets went on sale, but Ronan got the hookup on a pair of tickets so we were obligated to go.
I was excited to hear that Neko Case is everything she sounds like on cd. Her voice is huge, and it works so well with Carl Newman and Dan Bejar on stage that it almost seemed impossible. Bejar seemed drunk half the night (and never hungry because he kept coming out with a sandwich) but his songs and voice struck me as the most interesting. I need to go find some Destroyer records…somewhere.

This show was amazing. That live cd I picked up sounds good, but not soundy like Neko Case on the girly bits.
