Shorts : Bon Iver

It's August...it's hot in LA...and apparently Bon Iver aka Justin Vernon, was hot as well, as he was in shorts on stage at the Troubadour.


Two sold out shows this week, and duh - of course it's sold out. His voice is sweet and sad and sultry...I just have no idea what the lyrics are except for a few here and there and that's ok.

Thank goodness for the sing along in "The Wolves (Act I & II)" when he told the audience what to sing "What might have been lost", or I might not have understood what to sing.


He must be working on a new album as he played a new track called "loving". Maybe he is over his heartbreak and he is onto loving a new one?

One would expect a solemn and quiet show, but surprisingly he jammed it out with his band to a few of his songs, and damn - I wish I had brought those fancy ear plugs.

For some reason I love when a band has multiple drum kits on stage that are played simultaneously - as if the chorus within the band wasn't enough - the three band members aside from Justin would bang it out at one time. Yum.

My love for Bon Iver has been solidified.
