June 6th @ The Wiltern: The XX / Nosaj Thing / Phantogram
I caved and bought this Motorcycle Jacket from the clearance rack at Urban Outtfitters, but now I wear it practically every day. With my skirt from Jane Marple and my Colcci boots, I'm wearing everything that hardly sees the light of day from my closet :D :D :D
Sold out show at the Wiltern for The XX.
Surprise opening act - Nosaj Thing
I was so incredibly thrilled to see him since I'd missed his concert with Daedalus. It was AWESOME.
One of my favorite tracks he performed. "Light #2" below

Second opening act Phantogram
I didn't know about them until now, but I *LOVE* them now, their album is great.
Their track "Mouthful of Diamonds" below:
Me and my concert friend Karen. "Pictures or it didn't happen" right?
XX opens with a scrim and their logo projected on it
They played "Intro" with the lights fading on and off of their silhouettes.
Apparently this track was used as a theme by Apolo Ohno?
My favorite track from them is the one everyone has heard because of KCRW...
"Crystalised"
HOT
HOOOOTTTT
One of the best concerts I've been to at the Wiltern.
I had such a great experience, enjoyed the opening acts so much -- the whole experience much better than the Massive Attack concert a few weeks before (which was filled with douchebags in the audience btw)
