On Friday night, a colleague from out of town asked me to join her for a show at the Independent. It's been years since I've been there but, the video of the Staves my colleague sent me caused me to think it was a show I wanted to see. And, I was not wrong.
We started off with another colleague at Beretta for bites and fancy cocktails. I did a very unusual thing, thinking we were going to have to wait for hours, and lied about our entire party being present... While our third didn't show up for maybe 30 minutes, we were not asked to leave our prime table location, thank god. People don't get seated immediately on a Friday at Beretta... ever.
Then we cabbed over to the Independent and caught the show. My colleague co-runs Sofar Sounds (a super cool series of intimate musical shows in people's living rooms) in Mexico City and so we stayed behind to talk with the sweet ladies of the band, afterwards. Their tracks are now on repeat in my apartment whenever I'm here... Brilliant!
