It was a little more than a year ago when acidjack predicted the success of Ski Lodge on these very pages. That 2012 Northside show was a precursor of what we see now in this band — strong 80s-influenced songcraft performed by a tight and talented quintet. Ski Lodge has now released their debut album Big Heart and Tuesday night at Glasslands was the CD release show. As lead singer Andrew Marr noted during the show, it was encouraging that on a late summer midweek night the band still managed to pack Glasslands with an animated crowd. The first few rows were consistently dancing throughout the set and the band obliged with perky indie-pop numbers that made moving easy. The setlist included 8 of the album’s 11 tracks and two songs from the band’s debut EP. We’re streaming the set finale, a scorching version of “Just To Be Like You” that closed the set in appropriate fashion and left the frenetic crowd wanting more.
I recorded this set in our usual manner in this venue and the sound is superb. Enjoy!
