Live Awesomeness

Yo La Tengo
10/7/06
First Avenue, Minneapolis



Yo La Tengo has been totally commited to awesomeness for over twenty years now, buidling one of the most consistently stunning and varied discographies in independent music. With the possible exception of Sonic Youth, I can't think of another band that has been worth keeping an eye on for this long. But whereas Sonic Youth's 2006 effort is very solid, Yo La Tengo's is one of their absolute best. Plus, it's called I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass. Live, they put on the best show I have seen all year. But I'm not going to long-wind you with the details here, because I've already spent several words on them in my review for howwastheshow.com.
