Dirty Projectors @ Whitney Live

Last Friday [July 20th], Dirty Projectors played in the basement of the Whitney Museum, where there is a gift shop and cafe. They played a little Black Flag, some originals and mostly won the attention of the free-loading museum crowd. Friday nights at the Whitney happen to be pay-what-you-want, starting at 6PM. I got to the museum around 7ish, and there was a crowd rounding the corner and half way down 75th street. But the line moved pretty fast, and soon I was watching the band from the outside. Dirty Projectors played about a 40-minute set and I must say that I really enjoyed it. There's something that draws me to their sound. Alone, I think Dave Longstreth's voice gets tiresome, but combined with the female vox, their sound is amazingly pleasant.

Catch them in NYC at Mercury Lounge on September 28th.
