JENNY LEWIS Live at First Ave



To wrap up an excellent 6-day stretch of shows in Minneapolis was the lovely Jenny Lewis. After two just raucous shows, it was nice to have a relatively relaxing, folked-out show. We got impatient half way through each of the openers; Farmer Dave seemed disheveled and his set was a little out of control, but it had its moment when he blew into this funny keyboard that looked like a bong with keys. The Sadies were a much more precise and well-practiced band, but we were just not really into their style--something I'd call "nouveaux-bluegrass."

Fun show. I'm tired now.

    I am jealous.
    I hate you even more now.

    The Sadies seem like an okay band but not worth it imo.

  2. Agreed, the Sadies have their shit together, but just not my thing exactly.
