The New Pornographers in concert
We just came back from one hell of a concert at The Club @ Firestone in Downtown Orlando!
Opening were The Postmarks, from Miami. Their singer, beautiful blue-eyed Tim Yehezkely, had had an accident earlier in Orlando. In spite of her broken leg and cast, she delivered a beautiful performance. I knew nothing about them before tonight. In their own words, "with nods to French pop and Brian Wilson's orchestral arrangements, The Postmarks believe they can rekindle the love affair people once had for beautiful music and well-crafted songs about the trials and tribulations of life."
Following them was The New Pornographers, from Vancouver, BC, the band led by musical genius A.C. Newman. Though their sound faced a few inconveniences early on, they came out loud and clear with a show that will be remembered. Since the start of the year, we had seen a few acts, but none like them: with their 3-4 minute long songs they managed to capture the hearts of the audience.
Newman's fun delivery on stage was backed by a host of talented musicians, where vocalist/pianist Kathryn Calder (in the photo) and vocalist/drummer Kurt Dahle who joined their voices with Newman's, to produce some of the most beautiful vocal harmonies. Neko Case was not part of the lineup, but the singers up on stage did a fine job that made her absence go unnoticed.
At the end of the night, they played for a little less than one and a half hours, but it was well worth it.
