Live Review: Blonde Redhead at McCarren Park Pool [08.05.07]

Thanks to JellyNYC, the Blonde Redhead show at McCarren Pool today was free admission. Thanks to my friend Dillon, we had a spot waiting for us at the head of the line when we arrived late and groggy (please don't hate me for admitting to line cuttage).

Standing at the back of the pool, I didn't feel much excitement watching the trio. Kazu did her trademark swaying dance, and the twins were still identical. The atmosphere at their Webster Hall seemed more suited to their sound, but this was still better than some other show. Upon moving closer into the stage, however, the sound mix improved as did the overall experience. Still, I think the daylight doesn't suit them, and Kazu even confessed that she was "in outer space" that day. Wake up!
