The Album Leaf @ The Plaza Club

Went and saw The Album Leaf last week at the Plaza Club. We got there just as the opening band Windows 78 started into their set. They put in a solid effort, and opened my eyes to some good local post rock. I had a hard time at first getting over the singers vocals on their non instrumental tracks, but by the end of the set started to dig them.

The Album Leaf put in a solid effort. Played quite a bit off their new album which I quite enjoy. One thing however that started to piss me off at this show was all the people taking photos. I don’t mind people taking a couple shots here and there then retiring to enjoy the show, but when 4-5 people in front of you are all holding up their cameras for the extent of the show taking endless pictures it begins to become a pain. For gosh sakes try and actually enjoy the show rather than trying to capture it on film. What was even worse is there was a girl up front with a professional camera and a big flash, however she decided she didn’t need her flash and turned it backwards, so everytime she took a photo she would blind everyone behind her. Anyway I can start to see some merit in enforcing the no cameras rule.
