There was a strange buzz in the air outside the Casbah. It's not every show that 5 different people ask me to sell them my ticket on the way down Ketner... Granted, most of those people were clamoring about the headliner, Vampire Weekend, but I was pretty impressed with the opening act.

Yacht, aka Jona Bechtolt of Portland, Oregon, is a perfect mix between Beck and Napolean Dynomite on pretty much all levels - music, looks & dance moves.

See a Penny (Pick it up)

Yacht had just met up with the Columbia boys from Vampire Weekend to embark on a two week tour around the states. Yacht seems to be a popular pick to open for up and coming, indie rockers, warming up the crowd for the likes of The Dirty Projectors, Architecture in Helsinki and LCD Sound System.
