Went to a great show last night at The Parish on sixth street. It seems like a great venue for shows, sort of cozy with hard wood floors and walls, strings of lights hanging from the back wall, opposite the stage.
Two bands performed: The Low Anthem and Blind Pilot. Low Anthem is from Providence, RI so that was funny to be seeing them in Austin as opposed to both of us being closer to home. Great moody songs and the band seemed super talented, changing instruments between each song. One of the strangest moments was when the lead singer put down the french horn looking instrument he was playing, picked up too cell phones that were calling each other and held them up to the mike so that this eerie back and forth calling echo was created. Very cool.
Then Blind Pilot came on after the fastest set change ever, props for that. They're from Portland, OR and have played at the Parish before during SXSW. Hopefully they'll come back again because they were great performers. The crowd was rocking and throwing their arms up in the air by the end. Their CD will be my next purchase.
