I finally had a chance to see the legendary European art rock/indie band, Stereolab in concert. This was the first time visiting Cleveland, according to the band at the concert. It was a real who's who of the local music and art scene, where I saw dozens of folks that I knew almost instantly upon arrival.
Last time that they were in the area, they came to Detroit, about a three hour drive. I had friends that went, and i even heard a bootleg of it. This was kinda one of those bucket list bands though, as Stereolab had put out a great deal of excellent records over the years.
At one point, the singer pointed out the Devo hat that an audience member was wearing, pointing out the areas rich heritage of music.
It was a great show and a fun night. and i wanted to share a clip or two!

That sounds like such an amazing experience! Stereolab’s live shows always have that unique blend of nostalgia and artistry — and it’s cool that the singer acknowledged the local music culture too.
