[DID NOT ATTEND: May 15, 2022] The Lemon Twigs / Tchotchke
I discovered The Lemon Twigs a few years ago and really enjoyed their glam rock sound and I imagined that they would be a ton of fun live. The band is technically a duo, although I don’t know if they have more people on stage with them.
I really liked The Lemon Twigs’ Do Hollywood album and their follow up EPs showed even more development. Since then they have put out a few albums, and I have enjoyed them.
I have rather wanted to see them–this new tour, which was playing at TWO locations really close to me seemed to be an easy way to catch them.
This show wound up being scheduled on the same day as a concert I had a ticket for with my wife. We were going to see Crash Test Dummies, so this show was never really going to come together. The fact that we blew of the Crash Test Dummies show anyhow, was a smart choice as we didn’t feel like going, but it was a shame to miss so much in one night.
Tchotchke is a band from New York comprised of Anastasia Sanchez, Eva Chambers and Emily Tooraen. They used to be called Pinky Pinky which I think is a much more apt name for the style of music they play–it’s a kind of an updated doo-wop, pop sheen aesthetic.
Really not my thing, although I heard that if you went to their merch booth after the show they handed out a tchotchke to each person.
