I didn’t expect nothing less from Mac DeMarco at The Anthem on Wednesday night — minus the possibility of him climbing the balconies like he did at the 9:30 Club (for obvious safety reasons he did not). He did mention that he had the flu, so possibly he didn’t have the energy to scale those balconies at The Anthem, but he did have lots of energy for banter with his band members and crowd. By the end of the night, I completely forgot that he was sick because he played exactly like as if I was listening to him through my headphones at home.

Last year, Mac DeMarco released his third album on Captured Tracks, but the young Canadian singer-songwriter recently announced his next album would arrive via his own Mac’s Record Label sometime in the near future.
Meanwhile, Mac has embarked on a short summer tour, and he plays a big show at The Anthem on Wednesday, Sept. 5!
