The Books

The Books invaded the Empty Bottle last night during their first tour ever. Cellist Paul de Jong and guitarist/vocalist Nick Zammuto seemed nervous and intimidated by the crowd, which was incredibly endearing. Seeing them recreate their music through live instrumentation, audio samples, and some pretty fascinating video footage made for an incredibly compelling show. Paul's intense cello playing was especially fantastic.

I'll have a full review up here and on TMT very shortly- it's almost done as I write this in fact.

Next show to appear on the photoblog- Prefuse 73 w/ Battles and Beans this Friday at the Empty Bottle.
