Asobi Seksu @ Great Scott

Yuki Chikudate and Asobi Seksu performing at Great Scott in Allston.

We went to The Plan at Great Scott on Sat­ur­day night to see the Brook­lyn band Asobi Seksu – I got some good shots of them and two of the open­ing bands.

As I wrote ear­lier, the new record Citrus is an incred­i­ble step for­ward for them, and the live show suc­ceeded in dupli­cat­ing the wash of gui­tars and noise, with­out com­pletely cov­er­ing up Yuki’s voice. They’re nice people, too.

The other great thing during the set were the lights and smoke effects… so cool. The Plan people are really show­ing up the old Cam­bridge clubs, because it was freak­ing cool.
