[DID NOT ATTEND: April 13, 2022] Alt-J / Portugal. The Man / Cherry Glazerr
I was really looking forward to this show. It was a summer highlight.
Alt-J is one of those bands that I kind of like and kind of don’t. Their music is weird and unsettling. Catchy and earwormy and annoying at the same time. But their live show is supposed to be amazing.
I’ve wanted to see Portugal. The Man for a long time. We saw an abbreviated set of theirs at Newport Folk Festival a while ago, and it just made me want to see the whole thing.
Cherry Glazerr is an indie rock band that plays incredibly catchy fuzzy pop rock. I’d really like to see them in a smaller setting, but this would have been my first chance to see them.
Then we books a vacation to D.C. We were expecting to come home early this day, but our plans changed and we wound up getting home just about when the first band was supposed to go on. I doubt I would have gone anyhow–it seems weird to come back from vacation and go out, but I had held out hope for this show.
Alas.
But again, D.C. was a great mini-vacation and I’m really glad we went.
