I saw The Mynabirds at Mercury Lounge last night.
I was impressed with the band’s use of extra percussive instruments to create a fuller sound — stomp boxes, shakers, tambourine, and a trumpet in one hand + sleigh bells in the other.
Highlights: The band played standout song “Numbers Don’t Lie” pretty early in their set, and later Laura played “Fallen Doves” (the “Generals” B-side) solo, for the first time in front of an audience.
