Wow, Tally Hall did so well tonight. They played at Spaceland all the way in some random club in Silverlake, but wow. There was a huge gathering of people, and after seeing Tally Hall really play a live gig for the first time...
Wow. There are good bands, and then there are great bands who really know how to do live shows. :3 Almost as exciting and energetic as seeing The Pillows play, but man, they were really, really good. For a band fresh out of college that hasn't been together that long, Tally Hall knows how to play for a crowd. It was super intense for them, and the music label executives (supposedly the president of Atlantic Records was there) seemed to be really impressed as well. I saw them talking with all the band members as I hugged Andrew and wished him a safe trip back to Michigan.
They played almost all their songs off of MMMM, with the exception of Hidden in the Sand, Haiku, and Be Born. They played some new songs and a couple of covers, and overall they had a really good sound to them. The crowd really enjoyed them, and even Eric McCormack (he's Will in 'Will & Grace') was supposedly bopping his head to the music with a big smile on his face. I really hope Tally Hall gets out there as a band, what with being on the Craig Ferguson show and having big, big people show up for their show. I had a smashing good time, and overall I was just impressed.
Of course, now I'm totally exhausted and I'm going to crash, but once again. Wow. :3 The next time they come out here, I'm definitely seeing them again. Hopefully Andrew will give Andy a call, and we can hang out and shoot the shit.
