New Pornographers tomorrow and Decemberists next Friday. Will post results. [/ QUOTE ] I saw NP a couple nights ago, Decemberists a few months ago. pretty similar I think. they both came very close to trying to duplicate the studio versions of the songs. I think a band like The National is better live - they are far from a jam band, but they do throw in a few pieces of flair into their songs. also, the NP had an annoying "NP" sign that flashed really loud and tried to give everyone seizures. |

Re: General Music Discussion Thread Vol. 2
The New Pornographers were awesome imo. They are one of my favorite bands and I had never seen them so I was pretty excited. They had their entire troupe and Neko was really [censored] good (lots of weird old men who clearly were just there to ogle her). Agree with KB4Z that they're definitely the type of band that doesn't go far beyond the realm of their albums, but the sound was great, and musically they are quite tight. They really have a ton of great songs.
