Starbody

Hit the lovely Triple Door this afternoon for a 5 song set from The New Pornographers. Sporting Sonic Boom t-shirts (from a midnight live in-store the night before) and sans Ms. Neko Case, they made us forget that it was essentially one in the afternoon. The new album Twin Cinema hit stores today and you can bet I’ll be heading out later to pick it up. Highlights were Jackie, Dressed In Cobras with Kurt Dahle banging the hell out of those drums and singing vocals. A call for requests resulted in Jackie from the first album Mass Romantic. As if they need to be linked to, Pitchfork has a pretty dang accurate review.

The setlist:

Twin Cinema
Use It
It’s Only Divine Right
The Bleeding Heart Show
Jackie, Dressed In Cobras
The Bones Of An Idol
Star Bodies (the nerve!)
The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism
Sing Me Spanish Techno
