white denim destroyed it at spaceland last night. we caught a glimpse of them at the troub a few months back, opening for tapes 'n tapes, getting an appetite whetting taste of their skills, but last night, despite playing to a crowd that had bizarrely thinned out after a mind numbingly boring set from the pains of being pure of heart (why are WD playing with these horrible bands?), they put on one of the most impressive live shows i've ever witnessed leaving spaceland's collective ear ringing. somewhere between hendrix, yes, and the bad plus, they play with more power and energy than one could reasonably expect from any three piece. i wish there was a higher quality video out there that demonstrated the raw musical talent that these bros demonstrate, but this rad video shall suffice.

yeah dude, the pains of being pure at heart are weak. not sure i understand all the positive press they're getting...bmyers and i worked with peggy, the petite asian on keys, last summer and had no idea she was in the group or that they were destined for so much success...sounds like a lot of people at the show were there to see them.
that said, glad to hear white denim rocked so triumphantly. i'd really like to get the chance to see them.
