Typhoon – April 10th – Bluebird Theater
“Sold Out” signs and a long line greeted fans arriving at the Bluebird last Thursday night. Portland based indie chamber pop group Typhoon had graduated from the clown-car routine of fitting eleven members onto the tiny stage at the Hi-Dive and had sold out the Bluebird. Thick crowds of early twentysomethings stuffed into the front few levels leaving stomachs as the only place to safely carry a beer.
Daughter – May 13th – Larimer Lounge
Larimer Lounge was swarming with people for Daughter’s sold-out Monday night show last week. A younger crowd sporting flannels and peasant dresses, many with “X’s” marked on their hands, filled in around the small stage creating an exciting and intimate ambiance. Elana Tonra’s voice was just as hauntingly beautiful as it is on the record. What you hear is what you get, only with much more emotion. Overall, Daughter’s performance was poignant, evocative, and simply beautiful.
Milo Greene & Bahamas – November 9th – The Bluebird Theatre
The Bluebird was filled with the buzz that comes at the end of a long week on Friday night for Los Angeles resident Milo Greene and the Canadian based band, Bahamas. While we were there primarily for Bahamas, when Milo Greene opened up with a big wall of harmony we were sucked right in. While certain members lead at times, there was no way you could call anyone the lead singer. It’s always amazing to see a band of so many talented people playing together when they could all front a band of their own.
