Grizzly Bear / Beach House: Live at Metro
I sadly missed most of beach house's performance, as I tried to scalp two tickets my brother in law stuck me with, though I really only wanted to hear Gila, which sadly, I did not.
I have been wanting to see Grizzly Bear live for about a year now, and suffice to say, it was a great show, but jeez, they play some long, oddly parsed, occasionally discordant songs.

Weed smoking is apparently frowned up now at concert venues in Chicago. Hmm, that was a surprise. Turns out, the harmonizing and beautiful melodies you hear on Grizzly Bear records are really born out of unbelievable chemistry between several very talented and creative band members, with Ed Droste's voice standing out as the star, in all its reverb and delay riddled beauty. This is insane, but my cousin, MIchael, looks very similar to TWO members of Grizzly Bear; suffice to say you have to have known Michael for a long time, but seriously, Google that shit.By Nicholas Quirke
