Preview: The Twilight Sad at The Music Hall of Williamsburg [Brooklyn, NY, 09.30.07]

Don't forget this show this Sunday at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. The Twilight Sad and The Big Sleep. The Twilight Sad could take some getting used to. They seem like a Scottish Walkmen at times but then I stop paying attention for a minute and they turn into a 'songs inspired by coldplay' band that doesn't own a piano. The jury is still out, it's going to be hard to get over that voice, but I can hear the good qualities... I appreciate their Mogwai length song buildups, but the real jem to see here is The Big Sleep.

How did they come up with 9 tracks of perfection on Son of the Tiger? Six months later, I'm still daily turning to this. With the number of new releases and myspace bands popping up daily screaming for attention, this is some kind of miracle. I hope this was on someone's top list for 2006, because it might just make 2007 too.

The real question is, what have they done to our rustic Northsix?
Here's a few guesses, the weird bleachers are gone, the bathroom/room is gone, and they moved the merch booth area. It's probably all painted, maybe there is a balcony? I don't know...jam people in, make it like everywhere else....why williamsburg why?

When will I quit bitching?

And that new name just makes me think whoever is playing there tickets are probably going to be too expensive. It's like Radio City Music Hall or Brooklyn Academy of Music...the names alone cost money. This show is $12 online or $14 at the door. Not too bad, but this place better not have an attendant in the bathroom or I'm moving.
