MP3: Art Brut - Live On KEXP
Here’s what Eddie Argos has shared thus far:
*Rhode Island
Rhode Island was the first day of the tour. The crowd were aces, as were Demander and the Hold Steady. It’s the first time I’d seen either live and it was just a glimpse of how much fun this tour is going to be. There was also a Cuban restaurant whose menus claimed they were fighting for the rights of Cubans and for the truth about Cuba to be told. If those are your aims, I don’t know if opening a sandwich shop in Providence, Rhode Island is the best way of reaching your goals, even if your steak sandwiches are really good.
Boston
Boston is when I noticed that no one understands what I’m saying and that I need to take an American with me whenever I order anything in restaurants, especially water or tomatoes. I made a very good joke about it on stage, no one laughed (obviously because they didn’t understand what I was saying).
Philadelphia
Philadelphia was by far my favourite show so far, and the Hold Steady played perhaps the best show I’ve ever seen anyone play. We were brought a lot of presents by fans too, a wrestler called Chris Hero brought us some T-shirts and DVDs of himself. We were also given a bag full of cookies and cake with a card, we scoffed the cookies and read the card after. I was a bit worried the card was going to say “These should take effect in about half an hour”. Either I or the person writing the review for NME.COM had taken something though, as we have wildly different recollections of what happened. I never take my shirt off, I know what I look like in side profile.
North Carolina
Was a blast, John from the Mountain Goats came down so I watched the Hold Steady with him and then later listened to the Mountain Goats with Craig (a bit like spending an evening inside my record collection). Demander told me it was their best show, it was the only one I’ve missed (I was doing the merch stall). They’ve been amazing every night, so I’m sure it must have been pretty spectacular. I’m sad I missed it.
Back soon!
