Feist at Town Hall

Feist Strummin' I can sum up this concert in one word: embarrassing.

I was embarrassed for the entire crowd that sat down through the performance. (Since when did that become OK!?) I was embarrassed for Feist who seemed to grow more and more frustrated with a crowd that wouldn’t participate in her singalongs, whistlealongs or clapalongs. And finally, I was embarrassed that the opening act Grizzly Bear was so unbelievably whiny and annoying that they literally drove me from my seat to purchase a $6 shot portion of cheap wine (the jug it came from probably cost $6) from the extremely overpriced bar selling drinks you couldn’t even bring into the performance area. I simply couldn’t take any more of their unbearably mind-numbing whining!

Of course, my reaction may have been in the minority judging from the review of the show on Brooklyn Vegan.

I need to remember never to buy tickets to that venue again… Oh, and steer as clear as humanly possibly of Grizzly Bear. (Damn, I hated that band.)
