Three weeks have gone by since I saw this show but After the Jump Fest planning had me a bit, well, preoccupied to say the least. Anyway, while visiting DC last month I had a chance to see a band that I kept missing in NYC and another group whom blew me away so much the first time I saw them last year, I haven't been able to stop talking about them.
First up were the latter of the two, White Rabbits, whom were, of course, amazing. The whole crowd gravitated towards them and were up front cheering and jumping throughout the entire set. A few of my friends even went straight to the back during their set and bought the cd.
Before I go any further, might I say how impressed I was with the DC audience. They totally made me realize why I go to concerts and how jaded New York can be. Even through the opener, locals Takka Takka, there was a full crowd all up front, really into the music.
The headliners for the night were The Cribs. There were a few girls up front whom were really excited, but besides that, half way through their set, the crowd began to thin. Their sound isn't particularly different or distinguishable from any neighborhood garage band. By the end, I wasn't the only one to retreat to the back of the room and sit down, they had lost about 50% of the audience. It was a real shame, and on the last night of their tour as well.
