we thought we lost you


This Thursday night I saw one of the best shows of my life. The Dodos opened for the New Pornographers at Pioneer Park in Salt Lake as a part of the Twilight Concert Series that amazingly puts on free shows to for the public. The only thing better than seeing the Dodos and the New Pornographers is to see the Dodos and the New Pornographers for free. Both bands put on an amazing show, and luckily they let me bring in my camera so I was able to capture a bit of the magnificence from about 50 feet from the stage.


A.C. Newman. All hail.


Dan Bejar liked to play a song, disappear for the next 4 songs, then come back out and play.

Neko Case's red hair is as beautiful as her voice. Ginger's got talent.


The porta potty king. Don't mess.


Kathryn Calder singing my favorite song "Adventures in Solitude." One of the highlights of my night.

I believe in the New Pornographers.

  1. We saw them last night in Boise. They were awesome. And Dan Bejar did the same thing at our show, also usually coming back out with a beer. And I wish I could sing like Neko Case every time I hear her sing "Go Places," or anything else for that matter. Good times.

  2. This was most likely in the top 5 most outlandishly beautifully awesome shows of my life. I wish you crazies were up front with us. Neko looked at me and I told her I loved her. It was equally awkward and beautiful. Hooray!

  3. I like this. I am sad that I did not get to partake in it. Also I am glad that we hung out this summer, but sad that we did not hang out enough.
