CMJ 2007: Eagle Seagull at Gothamist House

Nebraska's Eagle Seagull is one of those bands I have been meaning to see forever. The band was overflowing on to the floor at the Gothamist house. One keyboardist was pushed to the wall and standing on bench, hunched over his instrument. Their songs are so upbeat I think the crowd felt a little awkward sitting down. However, this was near the end of CMJ and lots of folks looked like they were in a daze. I want to see these guys in a different setting but I liked their big restless sound.

You should check out this band, start with their first album—recommended if you like Wolf Parade + some strings.
