Street Scene Day 1 Highlights: Matt & Kim

Marjana Jaidi / August 29, 2009

Matt & Kim performed in front of an energetic crowd on Friday at Street Scene. Their banter between songs was so inclusive, it felt like you were watching a friends’ band in your backyard. I have to admit, I was lukewarm about their recorded music, but they definitely changed my mind with their live performance. Kim’s face while she played the drums was the picture of sheer joy. Obviously not the singer of the band, she gave ample warning to the audience before taking the mic for one song. Matt is also tons of fun on the keyboard and vocals, standing to amp up the audience whenever he had a break.
