Sufjan and his butterfly-winged (watch video below) 14-piece band played their first of 3 sold out nights at Town Hall last night. Parker Posey was in the front of the loge section eating it up, as was everybody else in attendance.
Spectactular show commencing with 'Sister' and ending with 'Casimir Pulaski Day' (the set spanned all the way from Michigan to a Christmas tune, all the way to the most recent release, The Avalanche.) Full setlist to come.
Suf told various stories including the song meaning behind 'The Predatory Wasp', why he chose to write and record his own Chistmas tracks, and how Metropolis is obsessed with Superman. At 2 points in the night, PROPS were thrown into the orchestra and balcony (inflatable Supermen and Santas).
Here's a video of the new track he performed: 'Majesty Snowbird' which, was, absolutely amazing. Probably the best moment of the evening. It clocks in at just under 10 minutes. Enjoy!
