I think it's been about a year since I've seen Tapes 'n Tapes live, and this show was a little disappointing - not their fault. Walk It Off is a great album, and made my best-of 2008, so I was anticipating seeing them live. I was hoping for an intimate club show, but I either didn't pay attention when they were here on tour, or was busy, so this was the only option available to me. What a disappointment. The very small Green Music Festival crowd evidently was there only for headliner Art Brut, because most people were sitting on their hands (literally). TnT were putting in their all, giving forth a quality performance and trying to make the most of it, but clearly even they realized what was happening - the crowd wasn't with them, and though polite, provided zero fan buzz. It wound up being a lackluster show, and the whole time I couldn't help think that had I seen the same performance at Subterranean with a receptive crowd, this might have been a highlight show of 2009.
