[ATTENDED: March 12, 2022] Daughter of Swords [rescheduled from May 8, 2020 and March 6, 2021]
In my head, I thought that a show that started at 6:30 would be over in plenty of time for me to make a show that started at 8 a few blocks away.
I guess I hadn’t counted on Wet Leg having an opening band (of course, they couldn’t really charge a full price ticket for 45 minutes of music, right?). So Wet Leg ended at roughly 8:15. It took me about 10 minutes to walk to Union Transfer and get situated. I saw the end of one Daughter of Swords song and by the time I found the much closer spot where I wanted to stand, she announced that she had one song left.
So I saw the final Daughter of Swords song.
It was quite pretty. Alexandra Sauser-Monnig has a lovely voice and a delicate playing style. She’s also very funny. Before playing the song she tried to get us all to buy her merch–talking a lot about the artist how did her shirts.
I find Daughter of Swords to be a wee bit too delicate for me. So one song was enough.
Initially for this tour, the opening act was supposed to be Courtney Marie Andrews who was on my bad list because she put out her last album right around the time that Courtney Barnett put out her last album, so whenever the DJ would say Courtney I was excited until they followed it with Marie. Turns out I would have missed most of her set anyway.
