On Monday night, I went to see The Notwist, my favorite German electronica/ambient/indie band. I was coming down with a bit of a cold, but I said “Damn it, I bought these tickets back in August, I’m going to this fucking show!”. And I’m glad I did. They put on a really good show and did a lot of songs from “Neon Golden”, which is my favorite album of theirs. Highlights were “Neon Golden” ending in an extended jam which then led into “Pilot”. My only criticisms would be that sometimes they got a little too jammy for me. For example, at the end they brought out the opening acts and proceeded to have a long, noisy, extended jam. Fun for them, but since in general I don’t like noise rock or jam bands it wasn’t as fun for me. But overall a good show.
