Soft Bullets, Jeff Beam, Wintersleep @ The Knitting Factory

I went to see Soft Bullets, Jeff Beam & Wintersleep yesterday at The Knitting Factory in Williamsburg. Why these bands? Well I won free tickets from Facebook. I love free tickets, but come on, who doesn’t?

Of course, I was like an hour  late and I missed the first band – Soft Bullets. So I can’t say nothing about them, but as I heard from Casie, a PR chick from Georgia I met smoking in front of the venue, they were pretty decent – two piece act, with Muse alike vocals.

However, I came just in time for Jeff Beam and I enjoyed their show… it wasn’t too long so it didn’t bored me, the vocals were mellow and the guys were good musicians. I’m not big at psych-rock at all, but I had a good time.

Around 10:30 it was time for the headliners – the Canadians from Wintersleep. These indie rockers are definitely from a cold cold place – Nova Scotia…

What I can say about their gig? Very strong beginnings of the songs, beautiful, mellow male vocals again… this is not my typical style of music, but it was nice… I got a little bit bored at some point, but I get much more bored on a lot of shows so that was alright. The vocal – Paul Murphy is the biggest sweetheart ever!!! &&& I liked the post-rock influence, yes!

Here are some photos and a video from their performance as well:
