The Tape

Best Of ’09 (Guest Edition)

I asked a few Tape friends to give us some list characterizing any aspect of their year in music, so I’ll be posting them in the upcoming days. The first one is from Nat Baldwin, the wonderful solo artist and extremely talented bassist for Dirty Projectors. Since he was on tour basically the entire year, he didn’t have time to listen to enough new music to justify making a list, so here are his favorite live shows of 2009:

bon iver – paramount theater, austin TX
beach house – oya fest, oslo norway
deer tick – bowery ballroom, NYC
liturgy – glasslands gallery, brooklyn NY
lucky dragons – scala, london UK
grizzly bear – williamsburg waterfront, brooklyn NY
little wings – aladdin theater, portland OR
david byrne – bonneroo, tennessee
givers – chelsea’s, baton rouge LA
tune-yards – bluebird theater, denver CO
TV on the radio – 930 club, washington DC
micachu and the shapes – SXSW austin TX
julianna barwick – bowery ballroom, NYC
extra life – glasslands gallery, brooklyn NY
crazy dreams band – market hotel, brooklyn NY
sam mickens – death by audio, brooklyn NY
kurt weisman – buoy gallery, kittery ME
skeletons – sneaky dee’s, toronto CAN
what’s up – holocene, portland OR
here we go magic – union pool, brooklyn NY

I’m familiar with almost all of these bands, but I was unaware of Julianna Barwic and Crazy Dreams Band before this list. If you have some time, make sure to check these two out, for they make some pretty rad music. Once again, thanks to Nat for participating in our fun little game.
