Flavorpill’s Favorite Moments from CMJ 2011

La Big Vic (285 Kent Ave, 10.21)

It’s always hard to know how blog music is going to sound live. The strain of lo-fi bedroom pop that has become so popular in the last few years sometimes is really best left in the bedroom. Listening to an mp3 of La Big Vic somewhere on the internet, it’d be easy for you to imagine they’d be one of those bands who fall flat when put on an actual stage. You’d be wrong. Sandwiched between a host of totally incredible bands that included Laurel Halo, Matthewdavid, Com Truise, and DOM at an unofficial CMJ show last Friday at 285 Kent, La Big Vic put on a show that was consuming and impossible to ignore. Whatever you want to call their music, post-chillwave-electro-folk-with-violins, whatever, it’s totally compelling and gorgeous. – SW
