Last CMJ I caught a band from Toronto named Weaves. While they certainly caught my attention, nothing could have prepared me for the Weaves that stopped into Mercury Lounge last week. This was a stronger, more confident Weaves, who now have a rock solid self-titled debut album out via Barsuk Records.
This return to New York was their first since that CMJ showcase performance, and I was impressed at just how far they’ve come as a live band. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed their CMJ performance, but I was completely taken aback last week at CMJ at the Weaves that stood in front of me, ripping through each track off their album in exciting fashion.
Weaves are on a duel-headlining tour with Philadelphia trio Cayetana, who I enjoyed as well, but it was pretty unfortunate that they had to follow the live force that is Weaves 2.0.
