Yo La Tengo-Live!

I went to Ann Arbor to see Yo La Tengo perform with Bill, a new amigo from Michigan. To be honest, I've never heard them perform before. It reminded me of my new favorite band/artist/electronic music (not sure what to call it) Gnarls Barkley. Three down to earth musicians rocking inside a quaint movie theatre. Some of the sets were off the hook. Santana style guitar solos with funky, electronic melodies. I had some trouble listening to the lyrics, but I'm also not used to hearing live rock bands. These indie-rock stars brought a chilled atmosphere from Jersey and engaged the crowd with Tigers-Yankees banter and silly, Jay Leno street interview-style "how are you doing?" questions. Bill said it best that it is hard to find down to earth performers who rock out with their guitars. Sleep tried to hit me hard throughout the show, but I stayed awake. If you don't know me, I sleep through movies, board games, and parties. Thank Bill for exposing me to Yo La Tengo.
