On December 10, Live 105 held their annual Not-So-Silent-Night concert festival in San Jose, CA. Among the acts were the legendary Smashing Pumpkins, Phoenix, The Black Keys, and My Chemical Romance.
Here's a short review of Broken Bells' set, courtesy of Treeswingers:
Amidst confusion about set times, Broken Bells, the collaboration effort of the Shins’ vocalist James Mercer and Brian Burton, better known as Danger Mouse, took the stage to warm up a growing general admissions crowd for the night’s festivities. The show was nothing short of spectacular, however, with a lackluster crowd that was mostly composed of punk-goth children waiting for My Chemical Romance, the energy in the arena was kept low. During the set, Broken Bells released not so new material, “Meyrin Fields,” eventually climaxing with “High Road,” the crowd favorite.
A smiling laughing Auteur and James Mercer did an interview backstage at the show. Watch it:
I love how Danger Mouse talks about the Black Keys as if he never produced an album for them. :) I also understand why he said he doesn't want to work in 2011. He has been working non-stop since 2005, and he's got the platinum success to prove it. If anyone deserves a break, it's The Auteur.
