[POSTPONED: August 23, 2020] Wilco / Sleater-Kinney / NNAMDÏ [moved to August 22, 2021]
I’ve wanted to see Wilco again ever since I saw them a few years ago. Their show was outstanding and long and I know that each set is a little different.
When I heard they were touring with Sleater-Kinney, I was pretty surprised. They are very different sounding, but they share a sensibility that makes sense. Their announcement of their co-headlining tour was pretty great too).
I had just seen S-K and didn’t really need to see them again (although it was a great show), but I was pretty excited that they were joining Wilco. I got tickets very quickly (even willing to go to the Mann Center) and they were good seats (even though it was the day after Deftones). Once again, I’m glad a show that I have good seats for is simply rescheduled with seats remaining.
S. had actually expressed interest in going after I mentioned that I had gotten the ticket. I felt bad because I didn’t think she’s want to go. Maybe with the reschedule I can get her one too.
I haven’t heard of NNAMDÏ who is Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, an American multi-instrumentalist born in California to Nigerian immigrants now based in Chicago, Illinois. He plays a kind of experimental pop and sings with a gentle falsetto. He doesn’t really go with either of them, but he could certainly work on the edge of both of their more recent styles. I’m curious to see him live as well.
