Okkervil River, La Maroquinerie, Paris, February 8th
The opener was a band called
Coming Soon, who all seem to be French, but sing in English. Overall really not great, except for the drummer/ukelele player/vocalist
Bear Creek. Who is twelve, but looks about eight. WHO, I have just discovered is in the project
Antsy Pants with
Kimya Dawson, and they are on the Juno soundtrack. We all said someday we'll see something from that kid, and apparently we already have.
How to explain the phenomenon of Will Sheff? One audience member (Nicole), was noted as saying, "he's at once repulsive and incredibly attractive, it's impossible but true." It seemed as though, as the night went on, the audience became more and more charmed by his performance, so that by the time he took the stage for an encore wearing a Jacques Brel t-shirt, and proceeded to play an acoustic cover of a Serge Gainsbourg song, every person in attendance was ready to go home with him.
Setlist (I have Nicole to thank for this)
