Cold War Kids at The Vic (01.30.10)

Cold War Kids were at the top of their game tonight, playing a sold out show, here in Chicago, at The Vic. This being the fifth and final performance of a special five date tour, before they begin work on a new record. Covering a variety of tunes off the two full lengths and the brand new EP, Behave Yourself, out now via Downtown, the band seemed very comfortable in their skin. They also claimed Chicago to be their secret weapon and a special place. Also, mixing things up this time around, the band had added some visual stimuli (i.e. artistic films playing on four screens) and provided a link to a free bootleg of the show. Definitely a nice treat.

Setlist

01. I've Seen Enough
02. Hair Down
03. Audience
04. Red Wine, Success!
05. Welcome To The Occupation
06. Coffee Spoon
07. Dreams Old Men Dream
08. Relief
09. Hang Me Up To Dry
10. Santa Ana Winds

Clare And The Reasons at Lincoln Hall (01.29.10)

Clare And The Reasons played a lovely set tonight at Lincoln Hall, finishing off a tour with the French based, bossa nova group, Nouvelle Vague. Unfortunately I showed up a little late and probably missed 3-4 tunes, but thankfully caught some of my favorites off the latest release, Arrow, out via Frog Stand. Performing, for the most part, as a trio, this Brooklyn based group was frequently switching instruments (violin, french horn, snare, glock, clarinet, bass, keys, etc.) to give a full sound, which was a fairly equivalent to the album. The stage banter between husband and wife, Clare and Olivier Manchon, was quite enjoyable as well. For example: a dislike for Canadian crowds, no "boos" for Brooklyn, and explanations of songs, such as a "song about bees", or the "science portion" of the set. All in all, I highly suggest seeing this band live, as I expect good things to come from/for them in 2010.

Setlist

01. Ooh You Hurt Me So
02. Wake Up (You Sleepy Head)
03. You Getting Me
04. Alphabet City
05. Our Team Is Grand
06. Pluton
07. That's All

Video: Team CoCo "Free Bird"

Welp, if you've been following the whole Late Night drama, as I have, you know that tonight was the last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. It's unfortunate that it had to end like this, but I'm for team CoCo and will continue to support Conan's future endeavors, as I'm sure he'll be back in no time. Anyway, if you missed out tonight, here's a final jam of "Free Bird," featuring: Conan, Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show band, Will Ferrell, Beck, Billy Gibbons, and Ben Harper.
