Idle Warship killed it.

Ok, so maybe they should have played the Mezzanine instead of Yoshi's since this was not a tables-and-chairs type of set, but I must say there was something nice about experiencing Talib, Graph, Res, Daru (drums), Louis (bass), Yuki (keys) and Chris (guitar) at point blank range in café mode. For those of you plugged into that NY scene, yes this essentially was the Cypher band backing Idle Warship. Dooooope.

The afterparty with Brooklyn Circus was the perfect follow up. The highlight being Talib Kweli hopping on the decks and doing his best West Coast thing. The man had that crowd figured out.
