I was pretty excited during the lead up to this concert. I've wanted to see Lightning Bolt ever since I learned about the wonders of noise bands, and these guys seemed to find a golden mean of listenability and pure energy. I got to Rhino's right at 9 (a rarity), but it was another half an hour before I got in due to some misunderstandings about credentials. I arrived near the end of an opener's set. The Lafayette Bird consisted of a guy and girl armed with guitars, some assorted drums and an amplified harmonica. The last song they played featured the girl on ghostly vocals while her bandmate played some dissonante guitar lines. It reminded me a bit of various Jandek albums, mainly the sparseness and vaguely creepy vocals.

This past Thursday was the Real Estate and Kurt Vile show at The Bishop. Both bands were relatively unfamiliar to me. I'd gotten a chance to listen to Real Estate's self-titled album, and briefly sampled Kurt Vile's last album and ep. I knew from the start that I would probably like Real Estate's set, considering how blissful their album sounded. Kurt Vile's set was more up for grabs. The first band to go on was Throwing Stars, who I'm not familiar with at all. They were relatively fun and reminded me of some '90s alternative band (not in a bad way). Their singer had a strong voice, and the instrumentalists were all pretty solid. Then it was Real Estate's turn.
