Last night I was at the SOLD OUT show for Grimes and Lykke Li at Chicago's Metro. On a beautiful Monday May night in Chicago, you couldn't ask for any more. Grimes opened up for Lykke Li, this one lady act is nothing but impressive, how she takes control of the stage all by herself. She reminded me of a female Panda Bear (the band, not the animal). Her music reminds me of if you were to hang out at a night club in the later parts of the night, I can picture heads swaying as if you are almost in a trance.
Next up, Lykke Li, who has a incredible stage presence with her two drummers, back up singer, keys, bass and acoustic guitar playing. Dressed in a black leotard with tights and a sort of cape sort get up. Her newest album released in March "Wounded Rhymes," is a much darker album then the "Youth Novels." Don't get me wrong still incredibly danceable, just not as peppy as the first one. Her performance was much different then when I first saw her perform at Lolla two years ago. If you weren't able to make it to the Metro last night, don't get too sad, she will be back here for Lolla for her second time in August!
