On Friday night Michelle and I hit the concert circuit again. We again had tickets to see Jose Gonzalez (Hey we like Jose, but we didn’t mean to see him live 2 out of 3 nights…but he did sound amazing Friday night at the Bowery Ballroom). Headlining Friday night was a band named The Books. They consist of two guys, a guitar, a cello, a whole bunch of electronic samples, a projector and a screen behind them. They ran the film clips they edited for each song while they played the songs live. The music is a mix clips of people talking, random abstract sounds and beautiful music. It’s a sound collage like nothing that I’ve ever heard before. Michelle and I would definitely go see them again. And as a matter of fact, we may when we are in Portland. They are playing at the Doug Fir on Thursday, April 20th. Tickets are only $12. We recommend you pick-up a couple tickets for yourself and friends, if the show isn’t already sold out. I’ve put some links to mp3’s of a few of The Books’ songs below. Take a listen and enjoy.
