Live Tracks: Wakey! Wakey! “Live At Bowery Ballroom”
July 16th, 2008 - by Eddie
Weren’t we just talking about live albums and how some fool thinks they are dead?
This one came to us free from Wakey! Wakey!, a piano-playing, fun-loving guy who has a soul of jovial humor.
To be honest, I was put off by the name. Just looking at “Wakey! Wakey!” sends obnoxious chills down my spine and produces images of a strict parental figure.
But, I’m happy to report, the music is closer to Ben Folds than your crazy aunt.
Wakey! Wakey! “Blame You”
If you like that, download the entire live album for free. It was taped on June 25, 2008 at the Bowery Ballroom.
i wasn’t expecting this. I was expecting children’s music or irritating lyrics about the morning time. Instead, Wakey! Wakey! gave me piano-based ballads that warm my indie rock mind. Oh, he also does a cover of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy,” which seems to be the thing people do.
Enjoy…and let me know if anyone has seen this cat live.
