Lykke Li and Miike Snow Concert Review
This being my second time seeing Lykke Li I went to the concert expecting it to be amazing, and thankfully I was right. After seeing Lykke Li in Feburary I became an even bigger fan, her vocals are even better than recorded and her energy and stage presence really adds to her music. Not to mention her hip hop covers which really get the crowd going.
While the entire concert wasn’t amazing, a Toronto based band opened for the opening act? The lead singer looked possessed and sounded like a goat had three members that were useless as they just stood there and OHH and AWWWED every once and a while. If you are reading this girl with the guitar, go solo, seriously, go solo.
Miike Snow has become one of my favourite bands, not only because they are amazing live but there music is catchy and fresh. Im going to admit, I went in thinking Miike Snow was just a guy with a mac book, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a full band and a DJ. Tonnes of energy and sound just as good live as they do on their album, I would defiantly go see them again.
Lykke Li finally came on after I went onto the patio to watch the fucking crazy lightning storm, considering she doesn’t have much material to perform her set wasn’t exactly the same as her previous performances I’ve seen, my only complaint is that I didn’t really like her new material, it was a bit country western for me. I also like the fact that she gets a bit hood when she sings, she gets low and crumps, My friend Alexander who was pretty drunk, continually kept saying “its sexy when a white girl got the flava of a black girl” (yes he is black). While that was the highlight for him, the real highlight of the performance for me was when Miike Snow came out on stage and remixed some of her songs and danced, the lead singer of Miike Snow also helped with Li’s cover of Knocked Up by Kings of Leon, which is one of my favourite songs. As well, her set was just a bit short, I would have liked for it to be longer, but none the less shes amazing and I will definantly go see her again the next time shes in Toronto.
5/5
