Matt & Kim!!

Last night took a trip to Old Street to the Old Blue Last to see a little powerful duo called Matt and Kim for the second time! They were just as good over the pond then they were back at the states. It was was one of the craziest shows I have been to in a while, and it almost didn't happen. When I showed up they were supposed to get on stage at 8p.m. but something happened to the PA system it like exploded or something so we all had to sit down stairs waiting for them to fix it. They finally got the system all fixed and everything situated and began the show at 10pm. Now this might have put a damper on a lesser band but not Matt and Kim. They took the stage with so much energy and played as fast as ever. The crowd just exploded in dancing. I was kinda in the back of tier 2 (Refer to my girlfriend's wonderful blog if you don't know where tier 2 is goodafternoonbrad)
but I was quickly shoved forward into tier 1 and the very front of the stage as soon as they played Cinders and that is where I stayed until the end of the show. Near the end of the set Matt had soaked his keyboard so much in sweat that it malfunctioned a little bit he said it was the first time that it has happened out side of Brooklyn and Kim broke her drum stool at the very beginning of the show, but still did not faze this eccentric duo. If they are touring in your area you have to go no questions asked. You are guaranteed to have a great time I promise!
I'm pumped about seeing them in Chicago this summer at the pitchfork festival and probably before that in Atlanta.
