Saw Dirty Projectors last night at Backspace (a rad Portland CyberCafe/all-ages music venue) with White Rainbow and Steve Kato. They are just unstoppable live: the crazy rhythmic interplays which can get a little abstract on record are totally visceral and propulsive and the harmonies -- oh, gosh, the harmonies! The three of them are so tightly in tune they make Erykah Badu's band look like a high school choir. The girls especially sing these amazing melismatic close lines while playing crazy cross-rhythms on their instruments like it's the most normal thing in the world. Check out all their songs from this Daytrotter Session: http://grabb.it/albums/0ebeb38a46a6 and don't miss the encore, it's a little smaller and more intimate and really reveals the vocal fireworks: http://grabb.it/albums/0d1853c94f0b
