The Guillemots Will Make You Love Life
I’m about two steps away from Death’s door, but I just wanted to say that I saw The Guillemots tonight at Bowery Ballroom and I was totally floored by how amazing they were live. I didn’t know any of their songs going into the show, but I fell in love with this band after seeing their spectacular live show. There was so much positive energy floating around that stage that even the most emolicious of us would start to love life after witnessing one of their shows.
The crowd was so bowled over that they demanded two encores…

[...] I must admit I was more excited to see the opening band at last night’s Guillemots show. I’ve listened to the Guillemot’s mini-album “From the Cliffs” but it initially never grew on me. They brought their collective, charismatic energy last night and whipped the semi-sparse Tuesday night crowd into a dancing frenzy. I’ll be listening to the CD alot more now, its one of those things where a live act can ‘wow’ you. Lead singer and main keyboardist Fyfe Dangerfield has one of the best voices that I’ve heard in awhile live. It really stays true to their recordings. Plus, the stand-up bassist was super sexy in her red dress (I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating Crackers). More on the show from The Modern Age, Music Snobbery and the man VI. [...]

Seeing them next week, hope they stay amazing, all of their songs I’ve heard either hit me full on like trains to brazil or grow on me until I love them like we’re here.

[...] I’m so surprised more people haven’t commented on The Guillemots post I wrote a few days ago. Seriously–it was a magical show. Although even when I was there I was totally shocked that the show wasn’t sold out because the band was so strong live. Some highlights: [...]
