Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" has been everywhere lately, I feel.. But I loved the song the first time I happened to switch on the radio (a rarity), and then downloaded the rest of the CD and found it refreshing to my ears. I tend to get wrapped up in CDs or songs to the point where I'll listen to the same thing over and over, and Gotye's CD as well as Fun.'s (I hate the weird period at the end of their name, but I'm a stickler for appropriate usage of punctuation and spelling, so I'm writing their name as intended) happened to be my two CDs for the month of March.
Anyways, I bought myself some tickets and met up with my friends Kristen and Sarah, and her friend Joann. I have a habit of buying more tickets for an event than just the one definite ticket I need for myself, figuring I'll work out the details of who else wants to come with me later... since usually, finding friends to go to concerts/shows with is pretty easy. But since this one was in LA and on a school-night (errr, work-night), I had some scrambling to do. But it all worked out, and the show was great. It was my second time at the Nokia Theatre (part of the huge Staples Center complex called LA Live) and Gotye really rocked out towards the end of their set, going crazy with the drums and percussion.
But here's a great live rendition of the ubiquitous hit. We didn't have Kimbra at this show, but Missy Higgins (who was his opener) came back out and did a phenomenal job.
