Live Videos: Evangelista (Carla Bozulich), Xiu Xiu (8/23/2008) @ The Drunken Unicorn
A few weekends ago I checked out this show because I’ve really enjoyed the last two Carla Bozulich albums and was very excited to see her. It was pretty good, but she was suffering equipment issues and her set got cut way short as the show was running behind because of it. Although she nailed the vocal parts pretty dead on live, so that was cool. You’ll notice in the last video she goes into the crowd and starts falling on people in the audience as she was belting it out, and totally knocks the glasses off someone I was with.
Xiu Xiu was very impressive live, but I just don’t enjoy their music that much. I mean it’s good and all, I just can’t seem to get into it. Their setup looked like a drum set had been dipped into that ooze that mutated the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They had the biggest cymbals I have ever seen and maybe the largest quantity of percussive equipment I’ve ever seen on a stage, half of which I didn’t recognize.
