Mp3s: live Lucksmiths, Ladybugs, & Pipas

I know I promised some live Crayon this week, but that'll have to wait a bit, since I'm keen on posting songs from the night of pop at P.A.'s Lounge in Somerville last weekend. It was The Lucksmiths return to the Boston area, and the Aussies came with Brooklyn's Ladybug Transistor and London's pop-duo Pipas. We headed over to the crowded club after a pre-show party that was as much of a bbq as we could make it, given the Saturday spring rain. Lots of food and friends was the perfect way to ease into the evening, and we brought a bit of our buzzes over to PA's with us.

I'll do these mp3s in reverse order of the sets, so first here's the Lucksmiths doing a mix of old and new, with the new coming from their just-released 'Warmer Corners' disc...


The Lucksmiths

live at PA's Lounge
Somerville, Massachusetts
Saturday, May 7th, 2005

01. Take This Lying Down
02. The Music Next Door
03. Broken Bones
04. Successlessness
05. Great Lengths
06. Sunlight In A Jar
07. Camera Shy
08. The Great Dividing Range
09. Now I'm Even Further Away
10. A Downside To The Upstairs
11. Guess How Much I Love You
12. Young And Dumb
13. After The After Party
14. The Chapter In Your Life Entitled San Francisco
15. T-Shirt Weather
16. Midweek Midmorning
17. The Year Of Driving Langourously
In the middle slot was The Ladybug Transistor, longtime friends and touring pals of the Lucksmiths, who drove up from Brooklyn. Their set included guests Otto Hauser (of Philadelphia's Espers) on drums, along with the Lucksmith's own Marty Donald on some added guitar action. The Ladybug's most recent record is a self-titled one, out on Merge, and pulled songs from that, along with a few from 'Argyle Heir' and 'The Albermarle Sound', and one from 'Beverly Atonale'...

The Ladybug Transistor

live at PA's Lounge
Somerville, Massachusetts
Saturday, May 7th, 2005

01. Echoes
02. Empty Bottles (John Cale cover)
03. Choking On Air
04. Song For The Ending Day
05. 3 = Wild
06. NY to San Anton
07. Like A Summer Rain
08. Wooden Bars
09. Words Hang In The Air
10. Splendor In The Grass
11. Oceans In The Hall
12. Rushes Of Pure Spring
The openers for the night, and for all the Lucksmiths shows on this tour, were East London electro-pop duo Pipas. Mark and Lupe did more than these six songs, but it's all I captured with my recorder. I guessed on a couple of their titles, so if you recognize 'em and I'm wrong, let me know in the comments below...

Pipas

live at PA's Lounge
Somerville, Massachusetts
Saturday, May 7th, 2005

01. yrrkdbk
02. Book Launch
03. The Windswept Room
04. Riff-Raff
05. Hiding In The Park
06. Jean C
A few more photos from the day can be found here. The tour finishes up tonight, with all three bands together again in Washington, DC, so check it out if you happen to be down there.
