Times New Viking - Live @ Luna Lounge, Brooklyn, NY - 4.22.2007
photo credit - Listen Missy
No less than two MS.com editors were in attendance for this show at the cavernous (by Williamsburg standards) venue.
This will be a super quick review, but Times New Viking are every bit as promising live as they are on the Paisley Reich. They ran through a number of songs in rapid succession, including the MS.com popular "Let Your Hair Grow Long" and "Love Your Daughters," as well as an encore cover of Pavement's "Box Elder."
The show proved that the band could bring both the energy and the fuzzed nature of their music to a live stage.
Believe the hype re: these three kids from Ohio.

the Wedding Present most decidedly did not write Box Elder! Their version might have gotten known first as they were the more established band, and Pavement were unknown then, but Pavement wrote it, and did it better (the cleaned up language in the Wedding Present version always irked me).

I minor point of contention... was the cover of Pavement's version or of WP's? Kind of like you could cover Hendrix's or Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower".

Well, it's not like the versions are really all that different, but if you had to say, since the "I had get the fuck out of this town" line was in tact and it was a messy fuzz bomb, I'd say Pavement. The girl singer handled it and it was sharp and noisy, so they sort of made it their own, though. As much as you can without altering such a simple song.
