FRICTION Recap | 12.15.07

Thanks to everyone who made it out on Saturday night to The Mercury Lounge for the final FRICTION show of 2007. It was the perfect cap for a year of great shows which began at Sin-e back in January. A big thank you to Brooklyn’s Yeasayer, High Places, Team Robespierre, and Chairlift for putting on such rad sets. I didn’t realize this until Saturday night, but this show marked all four bands Mercury Lounge debut. Also thanks to Darin and Greg of Finger On The Pulse for keeping the party moving in between sets.

Mr. Mammoth has a nice recap of Saturday’s show along with a live video of Yeasayer’s “Wait For The Summer,” which can be viewed below. Here’s a little excerpt of the review, head over to his site for the full post.

There was one storm that wasn’t forecasted yesterday, and that was the media one in effect on the Lower East Side. Bloggers, photographers, and media mavens of all sorts gathered at the clusterfucked Mercury Lounge for Yeasayer’s first New York show since CMJ, a sold out affair courtesy of FRICTION.

Expect some more reviews popping up throughout the week, as Mr. Mammoth pointed already pointed out. Head over to our Flickr page for Pat’s photos from the night. We’re currently working on a few things for February and March at The Mercury Lounge. Stay tuned for more info.
