I laughed a little making this post because I realized that both of these bands need (band) to make them search engine friendly.
So these pictures are about a month old, but if you’ve been keeping with the site you know I’ve been busy . . . I actually had the pictures edited and ready to upload but since I waited so long I decided to re-edit and picked mostly different pictures than the first cut.
This was my second time to see Real Estate and even though they seem to have been touring non-stop since I saw them last October with Japandroids, they were in high spirits and put on a great show for us at the normally reserved (at least in my experience) Duke Coffeehouse.
Woods is one of my favorite new bands and seeing them live was awesome, they did not disappoint in anyway. I got to talk to Lucas (pictured above and I hope I got that right) after the show about his awesome tape manipulation device which he explained to me was a way for him to create and alter sounds in an analog way. The only other band I’ve seen use tape in a similar fashion is the Olivia Tremor Control, but they were using reel to reel instead of cassette if I remember correctly.
I was very impressed by this contraption, the performance and their fight to save the world from the ever growing army of musicians whose sole instrument is a Mac.
Also, I really wish I lived in California so I could go to the Woodsist festival they are having in Big Sur.
So without further ado follow the links to the hi-res galleries below:
