This was the first time openers What Made Milwaukee Famous have performed in Vancouver. They played a half hour set but still managed to do nine songs, including a cover of Billy Joel's 'You May Be Right'.Richard's was pretty empty on this Friday night and the majority of those present were 20-something girls dressed in their hottest indie wear, and several couples in their mid to late 20s: a slightly older crowd than I would have guessed Louis XIV would bring out.
I got cancelled on myself by a new boy I hadn't sealed 'the' deal with yet and once Louis XIV launched off their set with the heavy, throbbing beats and suggestive lyrics they're known for, I thought to myself "he's missing out. Doesn't he know what panty-remover Louis XIV are?"
Updated in 2018: I never finished this concert review I'm afraid. My memory is off a fun, energetic set within the intimate environs of Richards'. I remember thinking that the venue wasn't sold out as there was plenty of standing space. The crowd wiggled around to the catchy and raunchy songs, but never got more animated. The band members were all in hipster vest/suits ensembles and put on a sweaty (on their part) show. Fun.Setlist:
