Singer/songwriter-galore
Ok, so yesterday I was to this singer/songwriter-concert, and I normally stay away from singer/songwriters because I find them boring and way to whining all though I do like Bright Eyes. But we heard that this Jason Anderson-guy should be pretty entertaining. And he was.
First off though Tiger Saw played, and he was a bit nervous, a bit giggling and a bit boring. Very heartbroken, non-personal songs. But Jason Anderson was a mosquito on fire and made everyone (almost) come on stage, while he stood on a chair, to sing, clap and make eerie ghost-like wails with our eyes closed. He was very enthusiastic and trying to make it a special moment even though he probably did the same show every night. But it worked and the otherwise shy, sober (it was monday night) danish audience actually participated all though a bit anxious (maybe that was just me). When a string at the end of the set bursted, he made everyone clap while singing some big mainstream-hit I didn't really know. But it was all good fun. At the end Kimya Dawson from Moldy Peaches played her funny/sad antifolk-songs which took the form of long crazy stories from suburban life with all the crushed dreams and weird personalities that implies. Between songs she was very sweet and moving sincere.
So it turned out to be a not-so-boring evening after all. If you live in Germany, Schwitzerland or France you still have the chance to catch the three of them. They're a very pleasant company.
