Wow, well, this was the first time I saw Devendra. Was an uninformed new fan, but was open to whatever might happen, or how he might sound. Don’t reall y dig the yodel thing but was told have to see live. Totally blown away. Have seen quite a few mainstream big acts here in the city the past 9 years, and this might rank in the top five. Lou Reed at Bowery Ballroom, YYY’s at McCarren, Iggy w/Mike Watt, Sonic Youth Daydream Nation show, and others come to mind with where this one ranks. Unbelievably tight band, great mix of songs, Johnny Thunders song? What!? Incredibly sensitive at some points, rockin’ others. All with a great sense of humor. Definitely the least serious, fun band I’ve seen in a long, long time. Lot of bands purportedly have a “sense” of humor, but these guys were actually funny. Think this one will go down as one of the best, least-hyped shows in the city in a long time.

Funny moment - (Devendra oddly wearing purple HBO channel t-shirt- didn’t realize how psychedelic the logo is. When band members see it start calling him “HBO”)

-Dead silence between songs.
-Fan loudly screams out song request.
-Devendra politely nods and continues to tinker for a bit.
-Leans over to fans in front and barely audible, says, “If this was Showtime I would have been like -shut the FUCK up!”
