Liam Finn @ Schubas



So Mr. Finn opened for Pela tonight and let me tell ya...I now understand why he was described as an "indie wunderkind." It's called looping, and he's damn good at it. Between fierce electric guitar to his "backup singer" yelling into the mike while banging the cowbell he sang. And recorded. And then played it back while he ran to his drumset to beat the hell out of that and make it sound phenomenal. Granted the routine became tired by sound 5, but you forgot that for the most part - because the songs were good, his backup singer was drunk, and they thought they were teaching us kiwi slang, like "low-down."
Err, at least I think that's what they were saying.
