Built to Spill show last night at Union Transfer. Doug & Co. were in fine form. Played some favorites, encored with Broken Chairs, but Liar was the high point for me.
The openers, Itchy Kitty were a bit much for me. Amazing punk rock stage presence, but a little too heavy on the caterwauling vocals for my taste. They were followed Prism Bitch, who were all over the place musically (straight punk, synthy pop, even a rock number that sounded like something out of 1986), but also amazing stage presence. Everyone was having a blast, in contrast to Doug's typical plaintive crooning. The drummer, who also does double duty in Built to Spill these days, is worth the price of admission all by herself. Anyway, here's one I really liked by them.
