[DID NOT ATTEND: May 18, 2023] The New Pornographers / Wild Pink
I saw New Pornographers’ back in 2019 (I didn’t realize it was quite so long ago). I enjoyed the show quite a lot. And almost wondered if I didn’t need to see them again since they played pretty much everything I wanted to see.
But when they announced this show (in the same place), I immediately grabbed a ticket.
But then May 18 proved to be a hugely popular night for shows. There was Richard Thompson, Kevin Devine and, most importantly, Acid Mothers Temple.
I have seen AMT more than New Pornographers, but it’s such a fun treat for AMT to come to the States (they had several shows cancelled because of the pandemic), that I couldn’t pass it up.
So even though I heard the New Pornographers show was great (by all accounts), I was pretty pleased with the AMT show.
Wild Pink plays pleasant but kind of dull music. I listened to a few songs and kind of forgot that they were on. So it felt like a push towards Acid Mothers Temple.
