I have a pretty good feeling we'll be getting them. I think they tweeted after the fall US tour ended that they'd be heading to Europe and then return to the US to play markets they hadn't previously hit up. They were great when I saw them in September, so I'm all for this.
Nah should be an awesome show... But the fact I am seeing them open for Sleigh Bells should let you guys know they are not big enough for some of the lineup spots y'all are suggesting.
There isn't a reason that they shouldn't come to new orleans next year since they said they are touring the south, but I could see them twice. Give me the bear!
Double post. I also relistened to yellow house and veckatimist under the influence last night and discovered things about them I've never heard before. And I've worn those albums out!
Grizzly Bear is not opening for Sleigh Bells. The Terminal 5 show is a one off for Sandy relief fund. It has 4 bands - Grizzly Bear, Sleigh Bells, Antlers and Cults all playing. Sure, SB is listed first, but virtually everything written about this show mentions GB first. Grizzly Bear sold out back to back shows here in September and would be a much bigger draw than Sleigh Bells in my opinion.

Sleigh Bells is totally headlining... Go to the terminal 5 website Sleigh Bells is listed first go to second hand websites like stubhub and allgoodseats and they don't even mention Grizzly Bear. They advertise it as a Sleigh Bells show. Defend it however you want but Grizzly Bear is playing before Sleigh Bells and Sleigh Bells is being marketed as the draw..
I like Grizzly Bear, I'd like to see them at Roo... But you are kidding yourself if you think they are popular enough to get a prime spot like LN Which... Daytime Which, daytime tent, or LN tent are the best you can hope for.

Ah, that makes sense.
Sleigh Bells may well be a bigger draw, though. They're incredibly popular among the boneheaded teen set. You know, they're all edgy and hip and cool and absolutely emulatable and marketable and perfect prepped for co-option.
Thinking about it that way, you might be right. I was only going off recent show turnouts locally.

If I saw Grizzly Bear open up for Sleigh Bells, it would be a good night. Grizzly Bear needs a set at night, preferably the Which but I'll take them in a tent
If I were to see these bands back to back, I'd rather see Grizzly Bear open the show. GB would be beautiful and relaxing, and I would be in heaven by the end of their set. Then I could get nice and drunk and rock out to Sleigh Bells. If it were the other way around, I wouldn't enjoy SB as much because I would be waiting for GB the whole time.
If I've already enjoyed a full set of GB, I'm fully ready to get intoxicated with the children and listen to loud noisy music. It will make me feel young and relevant again
Just listened to all of Yellow house and Shields. They're both fantastic, but I think I need another listen to Yellow House because Id put it as 3rd of the 3...
Shields Veckatimest Yellow House
would be the order I would put those 3 in after one listen
All of them are really fantastic though, and I really hope they are on the farm. Sundown.

The variable in this equation is the Sleigh Bells fans. If you put SB on first, do they all clear out afterwards and leave an actually enjoyable atmosphere for Grizzly Bear? Or do they get obnoxiously drunk as college freshmen are wont to do, and ruin the GB show with calls of "WOOOOOOOO" redolent of Monster Energy Drink and vodka, cramming the standing areas with plaid shirts and ripped fishnet stockings?
On the other hand, if GB goes first, you can enjoy it and get the f*ck out of there, and hope that all the Sleigh Bells fans' parents don't drop them off until right before SB goes on.
Where do you guys get these impressions of Sleigh Bells fans?? I dig Sleigh Bells. I first saw them a few years ago open for LCD Soundsystem and iv liked them ever since. I also like Grizzly Bear and I can assure you if they played after Sleigh Bells I would not be drunk or amped up on red bull and heckling the band and ruining the atmosphere. Truth be told I'd light up a J and enjoy the show.
