Pernice Brothers - The Weakest Shade of Blue
Supporting the first Pernice Brothers' album in nine years, Joe Pernice brought together brother Bob and the whole band for a short tour. No surprise that it started with a couple nights at The Dakota, seemingly his fave local venue with the dual virtues of being close to his home and encouraging an early-curfew show so everyone can get home and to bed. (This was a particular benefit to Pernice's audience, who could be largely stereotyped as "high school English teachers who aspire to maintain their younger days' hipness".)
Pernice lead off with a short solo set, and his songs of tribute and remembrance (including a run through Silver Jews' "Trains Across the Sea") were given accidental poignancy when one audience member crumpled to the floor, necessitating an unscheduled break while the paramedics were summoned. (Fortunately, it turned out to be nothing too serious and the affected patron was able to leave under his own power.) Quickly switching over to the full band, the new album was given pride of place, but there was time enough to range through the discography all the way back to the group's first single.
