Wolfe Sings Field, Behrens Sings Country

Last weekend we put on a show with our friends at Brooklyn Based as part of the first annual Northside Festival. A major highlight during our Saturday showcase was Henry Wolfe, who performed his Wolfe Sings Field album in full, and with a conductor and orchestra at that. You can check out some video here, and we hear rumors he'll be back in town doing it all over again soon. Motel Motel followed his set, with Aaron Behrens and the Dirty Banquet capping the day off with some country-tinged Americana. Behrens is the frontman for Ghostland Observatory, who usually travel with Pink Floyd's laser light guy in tow; after Wolfe's extravagant performance he picked up his iPhone and pretended to call that lighting guy, saying, âForget what I said about not needing those lasers today!â

P.S. Behrens's backing band, the Dirty Banquet, consists of members from Austin band Prayer for Animals. We caught them at the Bell House the next night for their first ever NYC performance, and they (for lack of better words) killed it. Please beg them to come back to the city.
