Show Review Julian Casablancas: Sunday, Nov. 22nd
Posted by Trent Moorman on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Julian Casablancas refrained from breaking light bulbs last night at the Showbox-Market. His set was shortish, and loud. The mostly all ages crowd was super amped for the super pop. Back bar area was closed. The songs sound better live than the recording. Julian was cordial, thankful, and sang with laid back note hitting gusto.
The six piece band featured a synth player, a drummer, a drum pad playing / kick drum stomping percussion girl, and two guitar players. One guitar player was classic 80's pop, and the other one was Motorheady looking. Almost like Julian wanted to play with as disparate players as he could find.
At one point Julian said, “This is the best crowd we’ve had yet.”

Motorhead-y guitarist looks like Ethan Johns, a longtime Strokes friend and collaborator/producer with Ryan Adams, Willie Nelson, Kings of Leon, and a whole swack of others. He's also nominated for a Grammy for Producer of the Year.
Oh, and I wouldn't pay too much attention to Julian saying you were the best crowd yet. No offense, but I'm sure he says that to all the girls.
