sondre lerche 11/15/07
So regular readers should already know I'm a big fan of Norwegian pop-darling Sondre Lerche.Read about him on Lullabyes here and check out this older show we taped in Houston, back in 2003.
Dallas has been lucky enough to have Sondre Lerche visit a couple of times this year. Earlier in the year he wandered through with his band 'the Faces Down' in support of his closest-thing-to-rocking-out yet record, 'Phantom Punch' and played at the now-defunct Gypsy Tea Room. In November, he visited again - frequenting Club Dada with former Semisonic lead-man Dan Wilson.
Amazing amazing show. I'd seen him earlier this year at SXSW, it was an outside venue, with a fairly lacking sound system. Seeing him close up and indoors was an absolute treat and a much better venue for his fun and cozy shows.
Ever prolific, Sondre's put out two records this year - the 'fore mentioned 'Phantom Punch' and more recently he provided the soundtrack for the Steve Carell vehicle, 'Dan in Real Life'. The latest show in November was in support for this new soundtrack, and Sondre played quite a few of the songs from the record - though sadly we didn't get a solo take on 'Hell No' - originally a duet with Regina Spektor.
Fortunately, we did get an amazing rendition of 'Modern Nature' with a full-on sing-a-long from the choir-like ladies in the audience. I haven't heard an audience sound this good since Matt Wertz.
Other highlights include 'Sleep On Needles', 'Two Way Monologue' and his various funny anecdotes between songs. You can tell he was thrilled to have worked on 'Dan in Real Life' with at least 4 monologues on the experience.
Great recording of a great show. Enjoy.

Amazing recording! SO stoked you got it; that show was one of my all time favs of the year, and I saw Sondre inside (Paste venue) as SXSW this year (and his drummer used my kick drum). The quality is really great...only wish you had a crowd mic just for Modern Nature...the sing along was a huge moment and almost single-handedly resurrected my hope for the Dallas music scene. Why only free mics for Dan Wilson and only board for Sondre?
Either way, very excited you're in town getting these shows at such great quality.
well atypically i only do soundboard, but dan wanted mics only, so I defaulted to that for that recording. My recording device doesnt allow both at the same time, I would have had to run two recorders to get mics and board during Sondre - and who would have know that the girls would sing along so well ;)
Great recording by a great songwriter. I miss his band. This is a heck of a treat. THANKS so much for making this avaiable.
Awesome! Thanks so much for this recording.
Jeez! This is great! I just recently found out about Sondre, but he is just great! Thanks for making this public! (:
