Pics from Phantogram with The Antlers at the Independent

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Karma

I confess I enjoyed the energy of the opening act, Phantogram, more than The Antlers. The Antlers were still satisfying, but you can't quite pogo to mourning music. I would have taken more pictures but I killed my camera's battery on Phantogram. Sometimes that's just the way it goes.

I must say the sound quality at the Independent was outstanding. I didn't even need earplugs for the first act.
