Tonight the Local Natives are playing in Spokane at the Empyrean. I'm pretty excited for this concert. I absolutely love their album "Gorilla Manor". If you haven't heard it yet, it is one of the year's best so far. I would have to say my favorite songs off the album are Sun Hands and Airplanes. Their harmonies are incredible.
I haven't read anything about how they are in concert but I'm hoping they are amazing. Since the concert is at the Empyrean it will be a small intimate show. I have been to a concert at the Empyrean before back when it was The Big Dipper. I saw the Hold Steady there and found the venue to be pretty sweet for a concert. It's not like a big arena show where you can barely see the band. You are right in the bands face and the energy can be incredible.
Opening for the Local Natives are the Suckers and a local band called Sassmatrons. I have spent a majority of the day listening to the Suckers EP to try and get a feel for them. From what I've heard I think they should put on a pretty good show. They only have a 4 track EP out with a full length album coming out in June, so I have a feeling a lot of the songs played will be from that full length album. I have no idea what the Sassmatrons sound like so it will interesting to see how they are.
Given the small intimate setting of the Empyrean and my enjoyment of the Local Natives, I have a feeling tonights concert will be one to remember.
