OK, I’ll be honest. I really only wanted to go see Dirty on Purpose and have an excuse to check out the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. The building interior was unfortunately uneventful and was also a poor place to hear music. It may have added to DOP’s crappy performance but these guys play more bad shows than good. I still don’t understand why they can’t translate their shoe-gaze compositions live. blagh.
Not sure why Band of Horses is still so popular considering their new album was such a snooze-fest. Although their live set was more enjoyable than listening and turning off their music at home, they didn’t come close to reproducing their production sound live. The Funeral songs were good but the evening quickly all started to sound the same. I still don’t understand why they need 7 people on stage. I guess so they can cover a bunch of Chicago and JJ Cale songs.
Pictures from the show.
