Live Review & Photos: Yeasayer @ The Music Hall of Williamsburg, 12/6/08
When Yeasayer left Brooklyn, it was as scrappy newcomers with an impressive debut album and growing internet buzz. After 14 months on the road, the band had more than earned the hearty Brooklyn homecoming they received last Saturday. Playing to a sold out crowd at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, Yeasayer seemed less like a group of up-and-comers and more like a group of road-hardened veterans, performing their unique mix of Western pop and globe-trotting rhythms without breaking a sweat.... read more

Some things, once seen, can never be unseen. Watching Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington writhe like an epileptic beetle on his back at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, wearing only highlighter-red skivvies and knee-highs, was one of those moments. Throughout the night, Harrington pranced around the stage at the venue, gradually stripping away all nonessential articles of clothing. Rubbing his half-naked body after a stage dive, he quipped, "It's not too late to declare your second viriginity." You don't say!... read more

It's hard to nail down exactly what type of music Pinback plays (too complex for indie rock, too self-aware for prog) but to the sold-out crown at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on Sept. 27, it was clear that Pinback is a straight-up rock band, first and foremost. The night's closing tune even featured a moment of which the dudes of Spinal Tap would be proud: Bringing out opener Kylesa, the two bands performed an epic rendition of “June” with no less than four guitarists, four bassists and two drummers.... read more

If American voters valued musical taste as much as political prestige, Barack Obama would win a landslide presidential victory this November. On that note, Andrew Bird, The Fiery Furnaces, Guster and others (including some "special secret musical guests") will play at the Barack Rock fundraiser tomorrow at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg to help Obama and VP nominee Joe Biden on their way to the White House.... read more

The Stills neither look nor play like they sound. Saturated onstage in an electronic bonfire glow, vocalists Dave Hamelin and Tim Fletcher didn't resemble the sensitive, love-lorn Canadian art school graduates they portray so well on their three studio albums. Every note they struck accompanied a natural rock god pose or back-flowing hair sweep, and despite the fragile undertones of their albums, the theatrics didn't feel insincere in the least.... read more
