We got back from Kilby later than expected last night. Saw some good stuff Thursday-Saturday. The highlight of the festival was New Order, who closed Thursday night. (Kilby is normally a Friday-Sunday affair but the only night New Order could play was Thursday so they added an extra day!) What a show. The gang led off with two or three Joy Division songs, including "Transmission" to start it all off. Then they busted into my favorite album (Power, Corruption & Lies) for "Age of Consent" and "Your Silent Face." I'm no a huge Killers fan but Brandon Flowers (lead singer) joined NO onstage for "Bizarre Love Triangle." (Apparently, Flowers lives in Park City and idolizes NO.)
We saw parts or all of sets for:
Yo La Tengo
Future Islands
Devo
New Order
Perfume Genius
Momma
Built to Spill
Car Seat Headrest
Vacations
Slowdive
Youth Lagoon
Rilo Kiley
Beach House
Jelani Aryeh
SASAMI
Toro y Moi
St. Vincent
Weezer
I think our favorite sets were New Order, Perfume Genius, Rilo Kiley, Beach House and St. Vincent. I'm head-over-heels in love with Annie Clark (too bad she plays shortstop for the other team). Jenny Lewis is another hall pass for me.
