I don't think I can give a better assesment of the gig now then I did last night as Owen Pallett walked off stage following his THIRD encore ; "Holy mother of f**k".
Astonishing. |

...and as if you weren't feeling good enough at the end of the gig, out comes Jens Lekman over the PA. s**t-eating grin on my face after that....  !! |

The only things I know that were definately played during the encores were Please Please Please and This Modern Life/Love (Bloc Party Cover) |

why was it so good, lads?...
...i'm a little bit sceptical from the little bit i know of him but am open to being convinced... was planning on heading to the gig on sunday but didn't make it...
...tell me why he's so brilliant... i know he plays violin and he obviously loops it a fair bit (who doesn't these days?) and i know he has great visuals as well...
this is an honest question by the way |

How long is a piece of string Palace?
Whatever that intangible thing is that makes someone great then he's got it. |

Frankly its just his songs are fantastically written. I couldnt give a s**t about his visuals or if he plays violin. And his vocals live are great too...I was shocked by how good they were |

That was what blew me away too. Yes, the fact that it was a violin instead of a guitar lended an air of quirkiness perhaps, but it is just the songs he writes - they're really powerful at times, really subtle at others (no not as often), incredibly well constructed from a technical viewpoint... I'd never heard him before. The visuals/projection-show thing add to it a bit I guess but I was just totally hypnotised by what he was playing and where he was going to go next that I barely paid attention to them to be honest |
