Picture a starry Los Angeles night, ablaze with cars and people and sound (as if that ever goes away in the city). I was truly awed.Įliza Rickman The Church of Fashion, 9/26/09
Kurt perfectly captured the very emotional struggle in the notes, even bringing tears to my eyes at one point. It is a constant, heady flow of soft resonance directly struggling against intense noise a beautiful juxtaposition of music and silence. The piece itself relies on the progression of single notes, to triads, to fifths, slowly layering and folding in upon itself in waves of sound. Kurt is a good friend of mine and a deftly skilled pianist, and he captured the stark delicacy of Curran's classical odyssey with both grace and fury. I was quite disappointed to attend just one night of this 5-night performance of Alvin Curran's epic "Inner Cities," but the glimpse I saw was breathtaking.

They opened with "Lisztomania" and closed the encore with a rousing, extended version of "1901." In between, the show was full of of peppy, poppy hits primarily derived from May's "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix," including the first stateside performance of "Fences." I left feeling satisfied, reeking of hipster scents and longing for a vacation in Versailles. Not the best I've ever seen, but it was a lot of fun.

The French indie rockers, for being relatively new to the U.S. All in very different locations and very different genres, so I'll attempt a brief summary of each with highlights and lowpoints (though all three proved tremendously entertaining in their own rite). I've been to three concerts of note in the past month. So I suck and I promise to never be this negligent again this is what happens when you get a job, you stop doing the meaningful, fulfilling things in life. I haven't written in over two weeks, thereby failing at life and all blog-like endeavors.
