David Wax Museum, Kingsley Flood, Plume Giant 4/14/13 Cafe Nine

Caught the last song of Yalie trio Plume Giant. Transplanted to Brooklyn and a complete recording under their belt, this two-guitar, fiddle, and harmony vocal trio are great. Wished i got to the club earlier to hear more. Kingsley Flood I noticed was on this year's uber-hip Newport Folkfest lineup. This band will fit nicely. A savory blend of Avett Bros., Wilco, and punk, this band could rock. Guy and girl singers made for great frenzied interplay. Girl played fiddle and sax too. Songs like "Set in Stone", and "i Don't Wanna Go Home" seriously rocked. Chatting with lead singer Yassim who said they were only on Newport's bill for summer festivals. Headliner David Wax Museum has been in this blog before. I like their sound of guy-girl vocals and latin influences. Unfortunately, the girl was sick and unable to play. DWM soldiered on as a trio. They put on a good show despite missing a key component. The girl sings, plays fiddle, and percussion (banging on cow skulls and such) so she was sorely missed. No letdown because this was truly a great triple bill. I would recommend seeing any of these bands.
