Ume at Webster Hall: 8/2/12

Ume (pronounced “ooh-may”) opened for The Toadies and Helmet last night, and I’m glad I arrived early to catch their set.

For a band of only three people, Ume had incredible power — they blasted sound and strength out into the crowd at Webster Hall.

Frontwoman Lauren Larson’s frenetic energy and distorted guitar meant lots of movement — Ume is perfectly suited to playing on a huge stage with ample room to move about.

While some may prefer the raw energy of their live show, I prefer the nuances on their album. The standout tracks on album Phantoms are “Captive,” “Destroyer,” and “Dancing Blind.”

Hospitality at South Street Seaport

I caught Hospitality’s set at 4Knots Music Festival at South Street Seaport.

Their set was interrupted by a fire, and they sadly didn’t play “Eighth Avenue” or “Betty Wang.” The band ended strong, though, with “All Day Today.”

Guitars Galore: Part 2 of 3

Here are more unusual guitars. Some of them combine two instruments (i.e. the harp guitar and bass/guitar combo), and some are unusually shaped (i.e. the heart guitars and the flower guitar).
