(more photos here) Last night I went to a Little Boots concert with Jess. Sometimes I think that I’m getting too old for late evening concerts on the weekdays. While I did like rocking out, I couldn’t help thinking about all the adult responsibilties Id have to carry out the next day.¹


Nonetheless I did enjoy myself despite the lackluster opening act.The DJ set was pretty good but the band, Hearts Revolution, was not. The beats dropped by the drummer and the keyboard player/Ableton Live operator were awesome but the vocals were unbearably screechy. Also the lead singer was totally wasted, that she didn’t notice her fly was open for the first 15 minutes of the set.




In comparison, Little Boots was a classy and excellent act. Strong vocals, high energy and enthusaism. Just in general her music is much better aligned with my electropop tastes than Hearts Revolution was.². I can hardly wait for the Little Boots LP to drop in June.




Also, if I owned a keyboard (and knew how to play it) it would be this one.
