Why you can’t miss it
The secret is out: The National is the definition of quality indie rock – and they are finally being recognized as such. Riding the high from the critical and commercial success of the band's 2013 album "Trouble Will Find Me," The National returned in 2017 with "Sleep Well Beast." Despite the high expectations set by its previous work, the record did not disappoint, earning the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. Don’t miss a chance to see a great band perform at the top of their game this Monday!
Song starter pack
The Hit – "Mistaken For Strangers"
The title track to the acclaimed documentary about the band and lead singer Matt Berninger’s relationship with his not-so-musically talented brother. This song starts out strong and builds all the way to the end.
B-Side Beauty – "Lucky You (Daytrotter Session)"
This slightly stripped down version of "Lucky You" is a rework where the subtle differences make it wildly outshine the original. If you get to see this one live, well, then lucky you.
Can’t Wait to See it Live – "Apartment Story"
A great upbeat melody that outlines a story in the National’s typically vague lyrics. Check it out before you see it at the show!
