5/8/10 @ The Bowery

Why did Chazwick Bundick have to get a shitty drummer and guitarist for live shows?  Now the performance is as if they are a live cover band covering Toro y Moi songs.

Fortunately, Caribou is fucking brilliant and saved the night.  I've heard of their amazing 2 drummer sets, but didn't expect their jams to be so poetic and so seamless.   Masterful is how I would best describe their set that perfectly blends all of their records to date into one cohesive performance.  Absolutely unbelievable.  And I don't even think tonight was one of their best shows.

All the meanwhile, my dad came along to the show and pretty much hold the same opinion as I do regarding both bands.  Awesome!  What a good night, except for the freezing weather.

haha i was wondering if your dad was even paying attention, but i guess he was!! i actually liked that toro y moi had a guitarist and drummer, because one person on stage can be so boring (aka - washed out!) i haven't seen them otherwise, but it was nice that they sounded different than on their record because i hate going to shows where it's the exact same thing. and that can happen easily with electronic music sometimes.

i agree, but i think toro y moi's drummer and guitarist didn't enhance the live performance at all. if anything, it just cheapened their songs. the drummer for caribou on the other hand totally brought life and energy to their performance.
