Mac Demarco was the best concert I've ever been to. He's really not what you would expect from a superstar, donning a truckers hat along with an old, ratty t-shirt, navy blue sweatpants and his iconic red vans with big socks, but he's sure got the confidence to pull it off. Being at his concert feels like visiting an old friend. Between nearly every one of his jazzy, slacker rock style tunes he'll let everyone know with a hint of irony that they intend on playing another song after that last one. His show has a great summer-y vibe to it with just a hint of suspension waiting to see if he is going to do anything crazy. (He does have a bit of a reputation after his infamous interpretation of U2's Beautiful Day).
The evening with Mac consists of some Elvis Presley-esque vocals from the "Rock and Roll Nightclub" record, summer-y guitar melodies from "2" and electric keyboard ballads from "Salad Days." It is just simply a show you can't miss. I get a good feeling this is just the start of his career which I sure hope I'm right about because I can't wait to go back and see him again!
