Live Review and Photos: Sparklehorse (3-4-07) Variety Playhouse

Last Sunday's Sparklehorse show was short and sweet, like this review. First up (since Deerhunter dropped out) was Jesse Sykes and The Sweet Hereafter. The band was not bad for an opener but not too impressive either. I'm always kind of put off by a name that's "Somebody" and "the other guys' band name". I mean it's one thing when you're a music legend from some other band, but when you're not even the best musician in your band and the band is backing you, well, it just doesn't feel like they're in it for the music.

Sparklehorse came out and rocked hard and concisely. The set contained only a few songs off the latest Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain(#14 of 2006), but was very entertaining and i just really love this band. The drummer's daughter was dancing around on the stage most of the set and even had her on a piano or something to play during the show. Biggie C got some great photos as per usual: (click to enlarge)
