Seven Red

So we went to the Aragon to see The National, Wye Oak, and – one of our favorites – Local Natives on Tuesday. The whole thing was incredible, but really, Local Natives just tore up the house. Here’s a sample of the show. I’d have to say that 12:00-on really blew everyone away. It was one of those weird live music experiences where everyone around you is either going crazy or looking around at each other thinking “Am I really seeing this?” When the bass player started banging on the drum set from the other side (at about 12:55) everyone in the place just went nuts. Now, we’ve had Local Natives’ album (Gorilla Manor) since just after it came out, and it’s been a staple in our house. The kids know it, and Ellie sings “Airplanes” (4:50-8:30) when it comes on. But the rendition of Sun Hands here really had me looking at it in a completely different way. Great stuff.
