BAEBLE CONCERTS: Voxtrot at Webster Hall

For their biggest NYC show to date, Voxtrot stormed NYC's Webster Hall to work their way through an energetic set that pulled songs from all three EPs, their recently released full-length album, and a new track that somehow managed to mash their personalized pop soundings with 80s hair metal. While songs like "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters, and Wives", "Kid Gloves", "Steven", and "Biggest Fan" reached for the lofty heights (courtesy of a string quartet) they always seemed destined for, it was "The Start of Something" that stuck out in the bunch. I guess that is what happens when a gang of goofballs (ok, Au Revoir Simone, Favorite Sons, and others) rush the stage at once. We were definitely a little jealous we couldn't bounce around on stage with them. But we did get to freak out a little bit way up in the balconies. - David Pitz
