@Cheap Shot: So it's not just a clever name, eh?

@StuntKockSteeev: Better than Cut Copy? I don't think that's possible.

And I may be the lone Ponytail dissenter on the list. That lead singer just bugs me. Someone needs to buy her a Happy Meal.

@2ironic4u:

The BrooklynVegan comments will always be more heinous than Idolator...

There, fixed.

It was definitely a strange line-up, but the middle portion was phenomenal. Second time I’ve seen Shearwater at that venue, and they owned both times. Ponytail, as much as they are more suited to a smaller room, still were a riot, and Passion Pit was really surprising. Dance-y indie rock is a thorn in my paw, because of how awful the crowds are at those shows (it’s like a fucking Williamsburg Football Team pep rally when Hot Chip comes to town), but they were really fun; way better than Cut Copy, while doing a similar thing. Also, watching a crowd of normally stilted hipsters dancing to “Fantasy” was totally worth it. Then, Phenomenal Hand Clap Band came out and tried to be the Doobie Brothers. Ugh.

Based on that video I think I can safely ignore Shearwater for the rest of my life and not be any worse for it.

SO annoyed I couldn’t make the local Ponytail show around here the other week, but I was already booked that evening. By all accounts, a total monster of a show.

this is alex from the hobo banned, I am glad you thought that pete’s line up was interesting enough to mention, we really appreciate it. The danish girl (paula newwoman) was actually really horrible live (imho) but the rest of the showcase was lots of fun.
