Menomena, Mercy Lounge, Nashville, TN - 02/23/2013

I had not seen Menomena since All Tomorrow's Parties a few years prior when they were still a three-piece. Some pals and I made a last minute decision of sorts to check this out. The expanded four-piece was a bit more rocking and certainly tighter. I really have not kept up with this band since their debut album, so I was really only familiar with "Muscle N' Flo" (which was pretty dang spot on) and "The Pelican" (which is great live). It was a fun time, and they sounded really great. Just not a band that I make a huge soul connection with.
