Panda Bear/Rusty Santos/Kria Brekken @ Bowery Ballroom - NYC - 6/18/07

The show was OK. It was great to hear "Comfort in Nautica" and some other great tracks from Person Pitch on a giant sound system. But the video projection wasn't that interesting and Noah Lennox just kind of stood behind his equipment and didn't move too much. It all sounded great, but it felt like I was just listening to the CD at home with trippier visuals. Maybe I had myself too hyped up for the show, but I was slightly disappointed.
