Wolf Parade, Moools at The Showbox July 26, 2010

Posted by flotz on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 | Live Review | Seattle

Warm summer night in Seattle. Didn’t have ticket or press pass and didn’t know it was sold out. Scalpers looking for$80.  And then walks by Dan Boeckner. Started talking with him and he put me on the guest list – what a nice guy!

moolsGot in to catch most of Moools. Japanese indie rock.  Singer letting loose with bravado singing anthems in the key of D, bouncing around and putting on a show.  Everything sung in Japanese. Occasionally would pick up a plastic flute or harmonica and eek out a few notes and then would abruptly discard them.  Bassist shed glasses midway through set.  Everybody playing Fenders. What a fun band. Reminded me of Toddle, who I saw in 2008 at house party at SxSW.  Really liked these guys. Moools rules.

No band sounds quite like Wolf Parade.  They have their own distinct sound.  Put on a helluva show, sweating and singing and generally giving everything. These guys are kind of intense. Cool to see Boeckner and Krug trade back and forth. Boeckner going for the indie rock anthems, like the indie Bruce Springsteen; Krug writing songs with creative keyboard riff stomps. Audience super into it, going wild between songs and fired up during the music, dancing, cheering, yelling. The Wolf Parade guys seems genuinely flattered – perhaps haven’t got this kind of reception during other spots on the tour.  Seattle represents, showed them the indie rock love!  They came back out for encores after extended stompin and hollerin.
