I was disappointed to leave the @muggphoto party early, but was glad I got to see The xx perform last night. I’ve been listening to their album quite a bit this year.
As I suspected from their videos, they don’t have much stage presence, but I enjoyed the music.The acoustics at the United Palace Theatre are not that good, though. You could hear the walls vibrate when there was heavy bass. That plus the assigned seating and the almost an hour and a half journey it took from Fort Greene to 175th street made me wish it was at another venue, but at least it wasn’t Terminal 5.
