There will be about a half-dozen or so YouTube clips and Flickr galleries of last night's Indie Rock Karaoke in Brooklyn, but for those who missed it, the show's highlight was when Paul Rudd and Wet Hot American Summer director David Wain performed Boston's "More Than A Feeling" (they were accompanied, of course, by Of Montreal, who knocked out a dozen or so karaoke songs after already playing a full set, and therefore must be lauded for their patience and endurance). There was some minor side-stage drama before Rudd performed, as one eager singer had already signed up for the Brad Delp homage, and had to be bumped when the actor showed up (Rudd seemed unaware of any of this). Luckily, everything was resolved when she and I got to duet on "Raspberry Beret."
Other memorable moments included former Shudder to Think lead singer Craig Wedren performing "Suffragette City," and Of Montreal lead singer Kevin Barnes (above) maintaining an icy, Klaus Nomi-style stare for the entire set, even while wielding a giant lobster claw. More info and pictures TK.
