Capital Cities 6/25 @ A&R music bar. By far the best show I have seen all year.I had the opportunity to see this new and upcoming band at Bonnaroo earlier in the month only two days after their album, Title Wave of Mystery, dropped. That show was incredible and so I was very much looking forward to seeing them in a more intimate setting. This show was originally scheduled at the Basement but quickly sold out, so they moved the show upstairs and released a hundred or so additional tickets. I was lucky enough to score a couple of tickets and so glad I did. This was one of those shows where it is impossible to drink a beer without some sweaty dancing fool spilling it all down the front of your shirt, so we did the only logical thing and became those sweaty dancing fools. By the end of the show, and at the bands request, most everyone in the place was half naked and helicoptering their shirts over their heads. Highlights of the evening included the band leading the crowd in the 'Capital Cities Shuffle', an amazing cover of Pink Floyd's Time, and extended encore version of their hit song Safe and Sound, and getting to meet the band afterwards. Very cool group of guys and deserving of the success they have enjoyed. These guys are going to be selling out the big venues soon. Highly recommended.
