British Sea Power continued their trek through NYC Sunday night.  They played a ferociously good set at The Music Hall of Williamsburg.  I've really been digging most of their 2008 release, Do You Like Rock Music?.  The album was on showcase throughout their set.  Yes, I like rock music and British Sea Power's version is pretty good.

I last saw the second band, The Rosebuds, back in the fall during CMJ.  I don't remember much from that show, neither good nor bad, but was pleasantly surprised by how tight their set was last night.

Jeffrey Lewis opened the night with his Daniel Johnston esque persona; from the music to the cartoons and drawings, Lewis is like a sane Johnston....but younger....and drinks less Mountain Dew.  Really enjoyed his short documentary on Rough Trade, "Creeping Death" cartoon not so much.  Interesting lyrics, not the best voice though.
