Sleigh Bells’ show last night at the 9:30 Club featured plenty of material from its third album Bitter Rivals as well as plenty of fan favorites from its previous two releases.

Rohan Mahadevan’s five—well, six—favorite songs of 2012.

Merriweather Post Pavilion continued its indie-leaning bent with energetic yet very different sets from Sleigh Bells and Hot Chip.

Saturday night’s headlining performance at the 9:30 Club by Sleigh Bells rang familiar for anyone who has seen them before. There was the darkened stage, lit with intermittent flashes of LED bank strobes. As thunderous chords of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” began, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss manifested. The wall of supplemental Marshall amps behind them emitted the piercing intro of “Crown on the Ground” as Krauss began to pant. Déjà vu set in.
