The Backyard: Japandroids

jpbig

Last Friday, before the boys of Japandroids beasted things up at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn, we had the honor of hearing them strip things down a little bit. David sat it out because, well, he refuses to play a drum softly. Brian placed his new New York scarf over his amp and got things started with a sweet, sweet version of “Sovereignty.” The ‘Droids don’t play “I Quit Girls” in their sets because it’s too mellow, so we got a little sneak peak of what it would be like if they gave their set the coffee shop treatment. Not corny at all! To close, Brian plowed through a cover of one of our favorite jams, Mclusky’s “To Hell With Good Intentions.” So good.
