This is a little late, but I just wanted to write a quick post in recognition of the total bad-assery that was the Los Campesinos concert in Hoboken about two weeks ago. Obviously I was already a fan, but seeing them live basically converted me into a registered SuperFan. I know these pictures are awful and grainy, but I'm only using them because SOMEONE hasn't posted all the ones she took with her awesome camera OR the video of the crowd demanding an encore like I've seriously never seen before. Henceforth, that someone will be referred to as Sophia Petrillo, of Lifetime-syndication-favorite Golden Girls fame.
When I go to any concert, if I've never heard of the opening band, I am fully prepared for them to suck. It's the subtle band-playing-order-ism of lowered expectations (Bing Crosby said that). This goes double for indie bands in small New Jersey venues. Imagine my surprise, then, when Los Campesinos opener The Orion Experience was freaking amazing! I'm just disappointed that their album came out in 2007, disqualifying me from writing about it in my Best Music of 2008 series. Check 'em out anyways, you guys. They're good.

It was truly an amazing show... 12 year olds included.
