We discovered this tiny little bar called “Yen” the other night. It was difficult to find but once we were there we fell in love with the space. I could have lived there it was so cool. The bar itself was really atmospheric and quiet – lots of hushed voices and overpriced drinks. They had a Vietnamese acoustic trio there the night we went and although the lighting was shitty for video, I took a few shots of them playing various English songs. They covered a very wide range of genres and did a pretty fabulous job for three guys, two guitars and one dude playing one of those box/percussion things. See if you can pick out all the songs!
Acoustic Night At Yen, Or, Name That Tune by Kris on December 15, 2009
Evan plays a mean guitar and mandolyn, but don’t ask him to sing
Damn. That place seems rad and those group of guys picked a damn amazing collection of Tunes. Picked up Metallica and Tears for Fears, which in turn inspired me to pick up the guitar and learn “mad world” lastnight! So jealous.
