The theme of the night on March 8th at the 9:30 Club was: barebones and a mile a minute. No stage ornaments. No banter. No nonsense.
In honor of the theme and the two bands I saw, I will do my best to make this blog post the same (who needs sentences when you have bullet points?):
First up: The Darcys.
Promoting: Their nitty-gritty remake of Steely Dan’s 1977 Aja
4 dudes from Toronto
Beautiful colorful skinny pants
REALLY beautiful green and red Fender guitars
Great sound effects [think doorbell chimes]
Favorite song of the night: Edmonton to Purgatory
Second Seen: Bombay Bicycle Club.
Promoting: A Different Kind of Mix (great new album)
6 English rockers [2 gingers, 1 woman]
Youngest looking band ever
Friendliest-looking lead singer ever
Drum set included recycling bin and Deer Park water jug
No transition time between songs
Loudest applause I’ve ever heard for a band
Favorite song of the night: Dust on the Ground
