bouche Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Don't miss out on a great show at the Phoenix tonight featuring Tame Impala. Great band! Opening is Yuck, and you don't want to miss them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsamuel3 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 awesome show. i was super impressed by yuck. didn't think they were all that great from what i heard on the internet, but live was a whole different story. very nirvana-meets-a ghost is born/yhf wilco tame were great too. definitely heavier than the last time around at the 'shoe.

RobL Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 nice, tame impala were great. I think the ottawa crowd would love their vibe. like the interviewer yuck came on early in montreal. So i am guessing yawn did not play montreal either. the two songs we saw where awesome. Listened to the vinyl last night for yuck and it's sick.

bouche Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yawn did play in montreal. I met them backstage when I went snooping. Though maybe because they were there, I assumed they played...but I'm sure I asked how their set was. I think they both played pretty short sets.

Cosmic ChrisC Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I noticed a review of the Montreal show in La Presse today. Here it is and the reviewer says that they missed the Yawn show.bouche, this is for you to practice your French:Tame Impala au Café CampusAlléchante affiche rock au bon vieux Campus samedi soir, alors que s'amenaient en ville trois jeunes groupes bien chauds: Yawn, de Chicago (groupe qu'on a loupé), et surtout les Britanniques Yuck et les Australiens Tame Impala.Le premier album de Yuck a été lancé plus tôt cette année chez Fat Possum. Pour l'originalité, il faut chercher ailleurs: le quartet pioche dans le rock alternatif millésimé 1990, de Sonic Youth à Smashing Pumpkins. Attitude taciturne, mais des guitares qui sonnent à merveille. Sur scène, c'est aussi beaucoup ça: quatre musiciens statiques dans la pénombre - seule la spectaculaire coiffure afro du batteur capte notre regard. Le dynamisme des ambiances guitaristiques nous happe néanmoins.Puisqu'on a beaucoup apprécié Innerspeaker, premier album de Tame Impala lancé le printemps dernier, on a tout autant savouré le rock psychédélique du quartet de Perth en concert. Car, il faut bien l'admettre, il n'y avait pas un grand écart du disque à la scène. Tame Impala y transpose presque littéralement ses tics «vieux Pink Floyd», avec un accent fort sur le côté prog, sur les changements de tempo et sur les signatures rythmiques originales.Du déjà entendu dans notre salon, en somme, mais du très bon matériel. Meilleurs instrumentistes que les membres de Yuck, les gars de Tame Impala nous en mettent plein les oreilles avec leurs compositions touffues. Très psychédélique pendant les 40 premières minutes du concert, le groupe a ensuite pris un virage plus moderne en se fendant d'une brillante et terrifiante reprise de l'Angel de Massive Attack. On retournera le voir avec plaisir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 So....didn't like Yuck other than the affro'd drummer, and loved Tame Impala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
