On Wednesday night I went out to the Oakland Fox Theater to see Yeah Yeah Yeahs, YACHT, and Thee Oh Sees. Then on the next day I went down to the Bottom Of The Hill to see HEALTH. Both were awesome nights of amazing music. I thought I would post the songs that I thought were the highlight of each band’s set. Yes, I have that much free time.

Thee Oh Sees

Thee Oh Sees were awesome. They kicked off the show with a bang. I loved their dirty sound and watching their singer play with his guitar under his chin and a microphone in his mouth.

Thee Oh Sees - Ruby Go Home

Thee Oh Sees - Ghost In The Trees

YACHT

A YACHT show isn’t something one can really describe. You really have to be there. If you ever get a chance to see them perform I really recommend it. Their performance is intriguing, mysterious, humorous, elating, and overal incredibly entertaining. It’s guaranteed fun. If their power point presentation doesn’t draw you their music is sure to get the job done.

YACHT - Psychic City (Voodoo City)

YACHT - So Post All ‘Em

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I have mixed feelings about their performance. I can’t help but feel like things have changed, especially their fan base. Maybe I’m just turning into some kind of bitter old man that refuses to accept change; preferring a raw three piece over showy upscale lights, expensive glittery backdrops, confetti explosions, and a giant inflatable eye. Needless to say though, I still had an amazing time. I was happy that they played a good amount of old material. I feel like the best moments of their set were during tracks off of Fever To Tell.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Pin

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Man

HEALTH

Most definitely and without a doubt HEALTH put on what was easily one of the best performances I have seen from any band ever. Energy, power, technique, precision, style, and monstrously epic are just some words that can describe the experience that is a HEALTH show.

HEALTH - DEATH+

HEALTH - CRIMEWAVE
