Ha Ha Tonka and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin shared a double headlining tour at 7th St Entry on Saturday.
Last night's show opened with Ezra Furman. The crowd was sparse to begin with but trickled in throughout the night. Ezra's performance had a raw, garage band feeling to it. His sound reminded me of early White Stripes releases. The clear standout in the set was "Queen of Hearts" off of 2012's The Year of No Returning. See setlist to read all the songs played, including merchandise reminders.
Ha Ha Tonka closed with fantastic harmonies and an interesting mix of twangy country and rock. The band moved the audience to sing and dance along. The set was memorable and well-performed. The band riled the crowd and spoke of an endearing friendship with tourmates Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (who would later return on stage to help Ha Ha Tonka for their encore, squeezing in a jokey version of Backstreet Boys' "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)").
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin certainly had the largest crowd of the three bands. The band's performance was lively and high energy. The music tends to veer towards electronic surf-rock. Mid-set the lead vocalist welcomed their videographer to the stage to sing with him. This was fun and unexpected - and kind of charming. Their best song performance of the night was "Yellow Missing Signs" from the album Tape Club.
They also previewed a few news songs, such as "Nightwater Girlfriend" which they played early in their set, from their upcoming album Fly by Wire that will be out September 19, 2013, on PolyVinyl Records. The crowd favorite of the set was "Sink/Let it Sway" from the album Let it Sway. It was a great way to end the night with the crowd singing along and clapping to an upbeat fan-favorite.
