The Silver Jews - Emo's, Austin TX - September 19, 2009


[from New York, NY] knew them from one song that I really liked on Pandora but was more interested when I found out that Stephen Malkmus of Pavement is a member - turns out they’ve been around since the late 80s - the lead singer David Berman is very engaging – he’s thin (a la melancholy drug abuser) with swagger and sunglasses and a speak-singing low voice that alternated between sounding like Lou Reed and David Bowie – they’re like a lo-fi country or indie rock band with a poet/glam rocker fronting them – Emo’s was overflowing with random people - the whole band had class and I am a new fan (Photo courtesy of http://www.brooklynvegan.com/silver-jews-david-berman-releasing-new-lp-in-2019-according-to-bob-nastanovich/)
