Click around here for all our coverage of REVERB 2009.Who: The MaldivesWhere: The Tractor TavernWhen: MidnightLast night’s set made me really glad I attended the Maldives’ second CD release show, not just because it was one of the most fun shows I’ve seen in Seattle or otherwise, but because I have never seen the Tractor so packed. And that’s saying something, because the previous show I attended at the Tractor was sold out. Last night, though, the band set a new record. Not only was the place totally and utterly stuffed to the gills with people, but the line of people hoping to get in stretched out the door and around the block. But then again, this band just released one of the best local records of this year and put on one of the best live shows in the whole city. It’s no surprise that more people are catching on. The band opened with Jason Dodson’s favorite song, “Walk Away,” and proceeded to regale the crowd with mostly new songs from the record (in fact, the set list looked suspiciously familiar to me). But I couldn’t hack it. After a few songs, I had to get out of there. It’s one thing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your friends and resign yourself to not moving more than two inches in one direction until the set concludes. It’s quite another when you have to stand on one foot like a tipsy flamingo because there’s nowhere to put your other foot. Time to start booking the Showbox, Maldives. You’ve officially outgrown the Tractor. Congratulations.
