I saw Chairlift on Monday night at the Brighton Music Hall. It was my first show at the BMH and I was thoroughly impressed with the venue, the service at the bar, and the extra aspects of the venue (pool, tvs, and thank god for the chairs around the place).
The first two bands were pretty horrible and they were completely forgettable. The first band sounded like something out of a high school garage and it was impossible to understand most of what the second band’s singer sang.
Once Chairlift came out things really began to kick into gear. They played a nice collection of new hits of their latest album and sprinkled in some old hits (they didn’t play Bruises which I’m sure bothered some people). The singer’s voice is amazing and her talent is very evident. I would certainly see them again and would recommend them to anyone who loves talented singing and playing.
My only complaint is that they came on so late for a Monday night concert. They came on a little after 11 and pretty much finished at midnight (including their encore). If they want to feel like a big boy then they should have come out earlier and played later.
