I went to go see Bon Iver last night at The Echo in Los Angeles and I can’t say enough about how amazing Justin is. I’m sure everyone that reads here on a daily basis knows that he is by far my favorite artist this year. I knew that Phosphorescent was opening up for him but I didn’t know much about their music. I was just so excited to see Bon Iver I didn’t bother looking them up. I had a nice nice chat with Justing while Phosphorescent was setting up and he had nothing but great things to say about these guys and assured me I would enjoy the set. He was right, the set was great. I don’t think these guy’s knew they were the opening act, they gave an energetic show. I found a prime seat stage right and was just captivated by Ben McConnell their drummer. I couldn’t keep my eyes off him, he was sick ( as in bad a** good). They will be on tour with Bon Iver so if you have a chance to catch one of their shows, do so you won’t be dissapointed.

Bye.
thank you
Trini, I’m a fan of these guys….they just passed by in Chicago and I desperately wanted to go see them, but had a full work schedule that week.
go check out their Daytrotter sessions. Cocaine Lights is especially stunning
Trini,
I saw Bon Iver Tuesday night in Tucson, blew me away. Phosphorescent was the headliner in Tucson and there was another band playing between Bon Iver and them so I wasn’t able to catch them live. (to late, for tired old me, long drive back home). Thanks for posting the songs. I real good band played before Justin and co. called These United States, there on Daytrotter as well, check them out!
Drummer was hottie! Couldn’t keep my eyes off him. I’m glad I got there early enough to catch them. First time I was really taken by the music and so much the lyrics.
I’m a bit late on your post. I just love ‘Aw Come Aw Wry’ including my favorite : I’m a full grown man - I will lay in the grass all day !!!
He played a 4 tracks Daytrotter session, check here and don’t miss ‘A death, A proclamation’ !
I thought Phosphorescent - with @ least 2 full lenghts back - was a most renown band comparing to Bon Iver… well anyway.. how lucky you were Trini !
Drummer is sex machine
