The National

The National, Hayden at Amsterdam Melkweg, Thu 29 Nov

Review by Shain Shapiro

The Dutch love The National, but they make us wait, a good half-hour before surfacing. Without a word, they launch into their set, opening with the down-tempo, minor-keyed ‘Secret Meeting’ and ‘Mistaken For Strangers’. The crowd remains silent»

Melkweg

The venue has two rooms - the Oude Zaal and The Max.»

The National

The National are five displaced Ohioans living in New York: Scott and Bryan Devendorf (guitar & drums); Aaron and Bryce Dessner (guitar & bass); and Matt Berninger (vocals) - two sets of brothers and one best friend.
