Speedy Ortiz's Setlist
|
Judging from Sadie Dupuis' lyrics, she seemed really smart... but lazy. For example, happy to settle for second place ("The Graduates") or trying not to complicate thoughts ("Swell Content"). A lot of the songs, at least from what I heard, were about relationship problems. However, Dupuis sounded strong, but possibly bitter, in her songs. If anything, if you love alt-90s rock (Liz Phair?), I think you'll find a lot to like with Speedy Ortiz.
Since the tour is support of their latest Foil Deer, about half of their set were songs from that album... including "Dot X", which Dupuis dedicated a picture of health (Mike Falcone). The funny story behind that was when they played with Ex Hex (in October 2014), their drummer got food poisoning, forcing him to take a bathroom break. The band waited so long they just decided to continue playing as a three piece.
Speedy Ortiz's Foil Deer is out now via Carpark Records. See them on tour with Krill and Two Inch Astronaut. Alex G & Palehound will be joining them on tour mid-May 2015.
