Tegan & Sara
Dec. 4th, 2007 01:16 amT&S put on a good show at The Showbox, which turned out to be less of a hole-in-the-wall that my first impression had been of the outside. I have three Tegan & Sara albums now, and I have to say that So Jealous is really the only one really full of songs I love. The new one, The Con, so far has just one track I really like and we'll see if the rest grow on me.
The opening act was Northern State, an all-girl rap act that struck me initially as The Beastie Boys without the Y chromosomes, with just a touch of Bananarama. They were clearly having fun, but I'm just too old to find rap appealing. I just don't get it. They do have quite the cute blonde guitarist backing them.
The audience for the show was definitely 'all-ages', and while it had more boys in attendance than many of my concerts, I still towered over most of the attendees. That and I was probably old enough to be their father in many cases. The acts have to make it down to Portland for a show Tuesday night, which should be quite a trick with I-5 closed for a few days due to major flooding.
