inside and out

Back at the Commodore last night to catch the lovely Feist play a sold out show.

Walked in just as New Buffalo was playing. She was a one woman show, singing and playing different instruments throughout her set. She had this one song called "Come Back" that was amazing. Can't wait to hear her album.

Jason Collett was next, playing an alt-country rock type set. The music was mellow and had some nice texture to it. During the set, Feist came out and joined in on vocals for a few numbers. She also played the drums on a song.

Feist took the stage around 11:20pm and her set went 1hr 20mins with one encore. Excellent vocals. The music was emotional. The set featured songs with a band as well as some solo songs. During the solo part of her set, she would sing and record a background part, then loop it. She would sometimes do this a couple times to create some great layers.

Feist asked a woman on the cell phone during the set who she was talking to. Feist then started talking to the person on the other end of the phone on stage. Everyone got a kick out of that. A girl near the front of the stage fainted during the set. Thankfully, she was okay. Feist then jokingly said we were moshing to hard.

The show overall was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed every act.

The Arcade Fire plays tomorrow night. Very excited about the show.
