Yeasayer Pics
Day 2 of Yeasayer’s sold-out rampage at La Zona Rosa, and it was an effing dance party.
Javelin opened, and were fun and all, but I would really prefer to see them at a much smaller venue… I bet they’d have fed off the crowd’s energy more at the Parish, their original venue, where everyone would’ve been crammed into a seething mass. They just seemed too detached from the audience last night. Still fun, though.
If you’ve been to a few shows around town since the fall, you’ve likely seen Thax (ok, I thought his name was Dax for a few months, my bad). He’s the guy who writes a poem in honor of the band and reads it before their performance. Love this guy!
Yeasayer played their greatest hits, mostly, though a friend and I were a bit bereft that Tight Rope was left out (I’ve had so so so much love for that song since first hearing the snippet of it at the end of that one Take-Away Show). They did, however, end with Red Cave, which is one of my favorites. So many gorgeous harmonies.
Lastly, my camera broke last night right at the beginning of 2080; have to mail it in to Canon today. Kinda heartbroken.
