MGMT Destroyed Webster Hall Last Night!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

If last night’s MGMT concert was prologue to what’s in store this Halloween weekend. Holy. Toledo.

Dressed handsomely as a mariachi band, they put a hurting on Webster Hall in NYC last night. I scored a ticket last minute, because somebody wanted to go see Philadelphia burn. Sports and Rock n’ Roll converge, and everybody wins. It’s a beautiful thing.

Check out the song that got this band signed, Kids. Got to battle horrendous fan vocal stylings (from what sounds like a singular douche, possibly the same guy with camera) – par for the course with in-crowd videos. The highlight comes about 3:00 minutes in; I’ll give you a hint: it’s shredding.

If anyone gets their hands on photos or the cover of ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’, send it my way!

The sheened coif of John Oates stood up to the pre-downpour storm winds marvelously, as he belted out the anthem before last night’s World Series almost-game. Nod to Brahsome for this.
