I hadn't expected the first two posts at this new blog site to be quite so focused on the past. Let's fast forward to the 2010s for at least a day and enjoy some contemporary music.
LA band Local Natives, who have a new album, Hummingbird, coming out in January, apparently spent their Thanksgiving performing a Soirée de Poche (evening pocket?) in a Paris apartment for La Blogothèque web site. Local Natives played Atlanta twice while touring behind their previous album, 2009's excellent Gorilla Manor, performing both times at the god-forsaken Masquerade, first in May 2010 and later that year in October (the first Rocktober). Their current tour schedule does not bring them to Atlanta - they're taking the tour de ville through Nashville and Asheville, but there are plenty of open dates on their schedule before and after those two shows for them to book a gig in either Atlanta or Athens.
Local Natives at The Masquerade, May 2010
The Soirée de Poche will apparently be posted soon, if my French is correct (the Google English translation isn't much help). However, La Blogothèque has already posted Local Natives performing A Take Away Show (Un Concert à Emporter) on the streets of Brittany, bringing their trademark harmonic acrobatics to Who Knows, Who Cares, a favorite from Gorilla Manor.
And here, simply because it's so much fun, is the video for World News, their breakout song from Gorilla Manor:
