Photos: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
February 12th at Lee's Palace in Toronto
Kip Berman: "This is the biggest show we've ever played!"
Of course it is Kip, you just got famous five minutes ago! The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have stimulated a chain of orgasms across the blogosphere over the past couple of weeks, topped off by a best new music review over at Pitchfork. Although their pseudo fame is sudden, I don't think it's unwarranted; their self title album's got some sweet stuff going on and since you can read about it on a million other blogs, I'll simply leave you to look at these photos and check out the tunes at the bottom. Suffice it to say the band had a really modest stage presence and lead singer/ guitarist Kip Berman's socially awkward excitedness was quite endearing. The short set was well received (the hi-light was a new tune called 103rd) and the Pains (who really seem like such nice kids) bustled off stage, visibly dumbfounded and wondering how their audience got so big.
