Palomar - live in DC


NYC-based indie popsters (and friends of DTT) Palomar returned for a pre-Fourth of July show at the Black Cat in DC. Finishing off a 10 day mini-tour of the east coast and midwest that saw them playing with the likes of The Wrens, Bob Mould and Voxtrox, the band played a set that focused on material from their last two albums. The set opened with my son's favorite "Knitting for Pleasure" featuring Sarah Brockett's prodigious fingerwork on the bass. Other highlights included "The Planeiac", "Our Haunt", "You're Keeping Us Up" and "Albacore". The 12-year-old young man working the soundboard needed a little help in learning how to mix in vocals but despite the difficulty at times hearing Rachel Warren's voice the band sounded great. Check out their new album All Things, Forests (Misra) their best effort to date.

Holy crap...are they drinking Presidente in that picture? That alone would move them up a notch or two in my book!
