It started innocently enough at The Mercury Lounge for a 10pm slot on an otherwise tepid Friday evening. The band was both playful and energetic as ever. I think Friday's take on 'Hold Steady (Hot Weather)' was probably the best I've ever heard them perform it.
The boys rounded out the set with crowd-fave 'High Five Club' and setlist-staples 'Left Hand' and 'Earthquake'. Not a booty was left unshaken by the time the set was complete.
Saturday in Brooklyn, The Gaskets mixed it up a bit.
For starters, they opened with 'Eiffel Tower' which was absent from the previous night's set. And it sounded great! Union Hall's downstairs area sort of reminds me of Cake Shop in size and also height of stage (about 10 inches off the ground). But the sound is better, by far. Anyway, back to The Gaskets. I think they really won everybody over on Saturday.
All Bling Kong fans (incidentally, what are you people thinking?) were on their feet with a smile from ear to ear shouting along to Teddy and Ross.MP3: 'The Easy Life'
