On Sunday, December 7th, I checked out Crystal Stilts and Love is All at the Bowery Ballroom and I'm glad to report the sound was much improved over the last show there. I was so excited that there were two bands on the same bill that I was eager to see live, because that rarely happens any more. Music Snobbery has a great review and some swell photos from the show so I won't bother posting a review, instead I'll focus a bit on Love is all since I don't have any Crystal Stilts covers (if anyone has any please send them my way though).
If you aren't familiar with Love is All, they are an adorable Swedish pop band who formed from the ashes of Girlfriendo. The show is high energy and lead singer Josephine is almost elfin like playing the cowbell or tambourine and jumping around the stage or playing her keyboard and singing. They write the kind of pop songs that when you listen to them you are instantly in a great mood and you really cannot sit still. I highly recommend the two most recently released, the Wishing Well EP where the covers below are from as well as the latest A Hundred Things Keep Me Up At Night on the small Whats Your Rupture label out of New York. I just want to say the fact that they cover Lung Leg is awesome and this is probably my favorite Lung Leg song at that.
"So Far Away" (Dire Straits Cover)
"Kung-Fu On The Internet" (Lung Leg Cover)
Bonus
Of Montreal "Make Out, Fall Out, Make Up" (Love is All Cover)
As always, support the artists and buy the music!
