Young The Giant at Stubbs Austin, Night 1

Young The Giant at Stubbs Photo by Amanda

Well Hot Damn, Young The Giant is awesome! I remember seeing them a year ago at SXSW and thinking that whoever those guys were, they were pretty fun. I made a point to see them again at ACL where they rocked out, and Max and I have exchanged e-mails about how well they translate to acoustics.

It was a special treat to see them again last night at the first of their two sold out Stubbs shows. Sameer Gadhia is electric and animated as he moves back and forth beween two mics at the center of the stage. Never far away is his tambourine, which he pounds out with unrestrained enthusiasm.

Check out photos from the show.

Modest Mouse at Stubbs 11/8/11

Modest Mouse got off to a rough start on Tuesday night as they kicked of their tour and their first of two nights at Stubbs. Their sound was a bit off towards the front and the energy I expected wasn't quite there. When one explained that they all had the flu, it suddenly made sense. Still, despite being under the weather, they found their footing a few songs in and rocked out!! If you are lucky enough to catch their second sold out show tonight at Stubbs, be ready to rock!
