We arrived at the Echoplex around 10 and caught the end of Futurecop's set. They were joined by a couple vocalists.
Next up was this guy, who I thought was performing ironically, but now I think is sincere. He may have been my bat mitzvah tutor.
After shalom Mattie was Chairlift, whose 2009 release I enjoyed casually. They played new songs that I liked, but I can'd find any clips of them. So deal with this Bruises cut:
Finally, Holy Ghost! took the stage. At this point, it was about 12:30 am and some members of my party were having a hard time maintaining a positive attitude (all that Manischewitz can induce fatigue and grumpiness). One man mosh pit guy right behind us was also not helping, nor was a frequently malfunctioning piece of equipment. Despite these setbacks I thought their set was fun, and offered a nice translation of a studio album that is mostly computers.
We bailed during Jam for Jerry, which is a song I appreciate in sentiment but not execution. By that point, we had seen most of their set, but had to be real about the 1:30 am in Silverlake factor. Holy Ghost! Come back! Start earlier! Thank you!
