In the early days of August if you checked the Baby’s All Right calendar you’d notice there was a mysterious artist by the name of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets playing a show on August 4. Only this clearly this band didn’t exist, and neither did the opener Another Juan. But the mysterious photo of Alfred E. Neuman, the famed Mad Magazine mascot, dressed as Harry. You then realized that there was a slight resemblance to Mac DeMarco, all the way down to the gap teeth. Then you realize that Another Juan is not only a clue for an opening set from Mac’s buddy Juan Wauters, but also a nod to Mac’s new “mini-album” Another One. The secret performance wasn’t much of a secret day of, as word had spread to those paying close enough attention, and it came for a bargain at only $5.
The performance featured many of the live debuts of tracks from the delightful Another One, which was perfect listening for the tail end of the summer months. He eased the introduction of the new songs by spacing them with old favorites such as “Salad Days,” “The Stars Keep On Calling My Name,” “Cooking up Something Good,” and of course, “Still Together,” which featured a show-ending crowd-surfer from Mac, from the front of Baby’s, all the way to the back, and then back.
Find some more photos from his performance at Baby’s posted below.
