Tilly and the Wall/ The Ruby Suns/Vivian Girls @ Music Hall of Williamsburg 7/29- photos, Setlist

Tilly and the Wall @ Music Hall of Williamsburg - July 29, 2008


It was a fun night in Brooklyn. The boroughs own Vivian Girls opened with its brand of garage-punk for 15-minutes. VG fit in more than a handful of songs, but should have played longer. Their stage presence wasn't as exciting as the following acts and there was very little movement from them, but still. Soon after New Zealand's duo, the Ruby Suns came on stage to perform some indie/pop electronic goodness that got the crowd going. They played song off "Sea Lion," which sounded different live with a more drum and bass feel to it.

Omaha's Tilly and the Wall finally came on at 10:45 to perform a fun, exciting set in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for the first time, playing plenty of tracks off its new release, "O," as well as oldies. This outfit definitely know how to put on a live show, enticing cheers, claps, sing alongs, and dancing. The music was dance-alicious and sounded great live, especially on tracks like "Dust Me Off," and "Tall Tall Glass," where you could hear the vocals amazingly. The band even bring out their own tap dancer. This is an band not to be missed live.

"And I feel so alive," Neely and Kianna sang. "We love you, Brooklyn" were the parting words of the night.

Tilly and the Wall perform at New York's tonight at Bowery Ballroom with The Ruby Suns and Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson. $15, 18+, 7:30pm.
