Jayne and I went to see The Avett Brothers last night at the Knitting Factory. They were incredibly kick-ass; a lot better than I thought it would be, actually. I expected kind of a mellow, broken-hearted crooning set, lovely and calm. It wasn't what I expected, though. The best interpretation I could come up with was that these guys were rockers, not only at heart, but in attitude, stage presence, performing style - everything but their instruments. It was like someone handed them sheet music for "You Shook Me All Night Long", but gave them the string section from a Beethoven symphony. They were amazingly energetic.
