Wolf Parade at Bowery

Since I don’t feel like giving a full review on last night’s Wolf Parade show, you can read about over at Heartonastick. I agree with most of it.

The previous crowd at CMJ had me all jazzed that future crowds would move. Last night, I tried to move, but everyone was listening and watching so intently that they forgot to have fun. Drink people! Drink!

Anyway, Wolf Parade rocked hard, and while they didn’t see any “ghosts” like last month, they did admit to being drunk. They even acknowledged that the bloggers had chastised them for making that “rookie mistake.” Not from this site. I love a drunk band and they played just fine. I felt there were too many people there that felt they had to be…as if they were being punished. The oddest moment was when the band claimed to never have played Bowery Ballroom before. Were they that f'ked up for CMJ?

I’m also pointing out Heartonastick because it gives me a chance to post this observation he made the day before. This is the (fortunate?) layout the Onion used for it’s latest online edition:Hilarious.
