Thanks to Alex for taking these pictures with my broken camera
Second night in a row of Fleet Foxes bliss. I know, I really am spoiled. Same amazing sounds, different banter. That's really the charm of these guys; they love to respond to the audience. I like how someone just randomly yelled out, "Ren and Stimpy!" To that, Casey Westcott joked that there was no open invitation for random pop culture references. The best moment was when someone yelled, "Play Katie Cruel," right after Robin had done just that.
Oh, and if you were wondering, Robin spent the day in Williamsburg. Seems appropriate.
Does anyone know what "important" attending people were responsible for making FF nervous tonight?
I'm going to keep this short, so check out the post on last night's Grand Ballroom show here for more details. Click here to hear more songs, read about other FF shows, and to see a video performance of "Crayon Angels."
If you haven't seen Fleet Foxes yet, you seriously have no idea what you're missing. I feel sorry for you. After this tour, FF is heading back to Seattle to record their next album. So, it may be awhile until you can see them again. :( Sad face emoticon is definitely appropriate here.

broken camera or not, the photos came out great. i love the backdrop; i can imagine it would enhance their music in the most magical ways.
It did, but I actually preferred the show on the previous night at Grand Ballroom, which was the most bizarre venue without any special effects.
i've never seen that venue. what's it all about?
it was built by the free masons. it sorta feels like a place that an 80s prom would have taken place. the acoustics are pretty good, though.
ooohhh now i can understand how it'd be so bizarre! seems cool.
