byronic :: mad bad and dangerous to know

Video Post

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.

Setlist:

Speak In Rounds
Adelma
Sleeping Ute
Cheerleader
Lullabye
Yet Again
Shift
A Simple Answer
Gun-Shy
Ready, Able
I Live With You
Foreground
While You Wait For The Others

Encore:
Knife
On A Neck, On A Spit
All We Ask
