rags Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I got a chance to go see Animal Collective next month, wondering how their live act plays out to be. It's only about an hour away and fifteen bucks, so I figure as long as it's something like their albums, well worth the time and money. Anyone seen them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
augurus Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've been to one of their show and found it amusing that people could mosh to Grass. At the show I attended, Animal Collective segued songs from beginning to end to form a seamless main set. I definitely had fun as Panda Bear pounded the drum like no other bear could pound. And Geologist's miner's hat is still pretty amusing now that I think back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'd say it's worth checking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raquelita Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm also taking a chance to see them at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta next month ~ They were definitely worth a listen, so I think they're definitely worth a ticket! I can't wait to see how this crazy music sounds live Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chendizzle Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I would love to see them live, but I hear their sets will be mostly new stuff (i.e. not from Strawberry Jam, even newer). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiokills Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 easily worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ludwig Von Drake Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I saw them in Chicago with Sir Richard Bishop, the same weekend that I saw Arcade Fire and Electrelane together. I enjoyed the experience of the former much more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 they can be hit or miss live, but for $15, id probably take a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ludwig Von Drake Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well, it helped that at AC, the people next to me didn't hate my guts. I had people on both sides of me hating me for trying to have a good time. It put a real damper on the actual show. As an experience however, the AF/Electrelane show wins out.

Jimbo Jones Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 They are more than worth it. I am going to see them Sunday and Monday in New York and I can't wait. Any thoughts on the new record? I think it is excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've heard that it is extremely worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Lane Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 yep, for some of the same reasons Akron/Family and Man Man are worth it. Great stuff live... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I saw these guys a few weeks ago at Henry Fonda in L.A. and really enjoyed it. I'm not really into seeing knob twisters too much but these guys have something good going. Their lights went really well with their music and the guys were really entertaining. I was expecting a little more raw percussion and noise making devices but really wasn't let down too much. Their live sound is pretty intense without going overboard and lives up to the hype. I paid 30 bucks and feel good about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
