It was a similar feeling I had while I approached Pier 54 for their free outdoor show. The pier created a wonderful backdrop for the sun to set and a night of outdoor music. However, these perfect factors were quickly ruined by one of the worst audiences and improper setting for the band&#8217;s music. Within seconds I became surrounded by the neighborhood of Williamsburgh and over-eager teenagers smoking and drinking way too proudly. I endured the heavy cigarette smoke to barely view the 2 giant screens projecting crazy patterns and the band performing. Unless you were in the very front you couldn&#8217;t see the band and I felt the enormous distance made the experience suffer. Matt &amp; Kim is a band that you need to listen to live up close &amp; personal so that you are practically banging away on their instruments. They play like it&#8217;s your party and fun is the only option. The music isn&#8217;t worth putting on a pedestal or maybe in a TV commercial, but it sure is silly and entertaining. I mean&#8230;.have you checked out their new video for &#8220;Lessons Learned&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mattandkimmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.mattandkimmusic.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I cringe every time I hear Matt &amp; Kim during that Bacardi TV commercial.
