The Vault

I just saw Mary Lou in Baltimore last night at the Vault and and I have to say it was pretty awesome. The last time I saw her was two years ago and she toured with a full band so it was kinda different to hear her perform solo on the stage. I kinda like the toned down solo performance better since you could hear her voice clearly instead of having it drowned out by the other instruments. She played all the songs on her new split ep as well as older songs like Camden Town Rain and she even played "Polaroids" during her encore after I requested it for the tenth time that night(she was a little nervous that she wouldn't remember how to play it). She seemed surprised that I remembered the song so I guess she doesn't normally play it all that much in Boston. The first opening band, Stargazer Lily was was incredible as well so if you get the chance to see them, take advantage of it.
