Cover me Bishop Allen and Los Campesinos!

I love cover songs (who doesn’t?), and I love concerts. So when these two loves combine, everything in the world seems right to me.

I saw Bishop Allen (easily my favorite Brooklyn band ever) play their hearts out Friday night at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Great show, great band, great cover of “Friday on My Mind” by The Easybeats. Oh, Bishop Allen, you’re always on my mind.

Last night, I made it to see Los Campesinos! (the exclamation point is theirs, not mine) at Bowery Ballroom, which was more fun than a basket of kittens. The excited/exciting lads and lassies from Wales played their version of Pavement’s “Frontwards” during their set, and also threw in a verse from “Box Elder” later on but sadly didn’t play the tune (one of my favorite Pavement songs) in its entirety.

Two great bands, two great covers. Zero photos. Sorry, Readers. I promise my stimulus package is going towards a new click click click click camera.
