We went to see Grizzly Bear at the Brixton Academy last night - their gigs are such powerful sonic and visual experiences (my photos are pretty bad, but that lighting rig and design was quite something). The songs from Shields sounded especially good, and I loved the grand finale with Knife/On a Neck, On a Spit/ acoustic All We Ask.
Also, for the first time in years, the supporting band was truly excellent - check out Villagers.
