The last time I saw Girls and Real Estate play, I walked away feeling disappointed by the former and pleasantly surprised by the latter. This time around, my reaction was the exact opposite, though the choice of venue might have had something to do with it. In the two years since I last saw Girls, they’ve learned how to scale up their live show to fill big rooms; during their headlining set at Terminal 5 on Saturday night, they looked like a band that has been playing to crowds of 3,000 from the start. Real Estate, meanwhile, looked and sounded a bit out of place in that warehouse-sized space—as it turns out, theirs is a sound best savored in small spaces. At any rate, click over to MTV Hive to see my photos and read my impressions of Saturday’s show and to see Christopher Owens win the Kurt Cobain lookalike contest.
