Dr. Dog w/ Kurt Vile at the Rotunda – March 2nd, 2010
The first single of Dr. Dog’s sixth studio album to be released April 6th, “Shadow People”, was also played, setting the crowd absolutely on fire. “Shadow People” is somewhat like “The Breeze” from the album Fate in that it begins quietly and solely by Scott McMicken, and then grows increasingly louder and more complex with accompaniment of instruments with Toby Leaman and Frank McElroy doing secondary vocals. These ballads sound like the Beatle’s in their psychedelic stage and were absolutely adored by the fans present.
Man Man w/ Javelin at the Trocadero March 5th, 2010
Honus pounded on his keyboard and the band ripped into the beginning of their crazed series of songs. At one point, Honus came out with a megaphone and a trenchcoat like he had just escaped from a mental institution while at another point he changed into a sequenced green shirt to express his feminine side. Meanwhile, the crowd danced and moshed like they were at some sort of psychotic religious service and there is no doubt in my mind that a majority of the crowd were under the influence of at least one variety of pharmaceuticals.
