Last night we saw the Fiery Furnaces at the Bowery Ballroom, along with White Magic and The Heartless Bastards.
Taking the stage after midnight, the Furnaces drove through a conglomerate of Blueberry Boat and Gallowsbird's Bark, their two albums. Songs started and transitioned to others and back again but the momentum continued throughout. Last time I saw this band, Eleanor had a guitar; this time she didn't. Still her recall of the rhyming dictionary lyrics deserve praise. This is a band that needs to be seen now.
White Magic: "They're good but not too rocking"...they were dirge-y at times. But I like the singer's voice and they wore masks! I apprectiated that touch.
The Heartless Bastards: I don't think they have anything out. Something is supposedly coming out on Fat Possum. I like the power trio setup. The girl had a good voice, and they were enjoyable.
So it was something of a girl power night, with three female-fronted bands. Highly enjoyable.
