Ah, my favorite Solana Beach venue with the Laser Eyes Shark. When we got there the opener was already playing—Ty Segall...and I'm assuming the three other people who make up the band "Ty Segall." I'm always made happy when I hear bands that can change something in the air with their music. And with Ty Segall (the man and the band), each time they started a new song it was as if something clicked into place—and with music that I can only describe as being rock-ish (in a good way), they seemed to be doing something interesting up there on that stage. As in, "Hey, these guys are doing something interesting." It was a good thing.
Each time I see Stephen Malkmus I worry that he's going to snap in two, he so much resembles a twig. But Buddy and I were quite happy with the music we heard last night, with so much energy that I don't know where Malkmus gets it from with that frame of his. As much as I enjoyed Ty Segall, the performance by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks (must say the whole band name) felt that much more mature, that much more...clean. Organized. Pulled together? In a loud and rambunctious way.
Mirror Traffic is a fun album, the few times I've gotten to listen to it (not counting last night's live). What live could we go to next? Maybe something at The Casbah...
