Lotus @ Irving Plaza, May 10th

This past weekend Lotus returned to New York City for two intimate shows at Irving Plaza.  Playing before a near-capacity crowd on Thursday evening and a sold out venue on Friday night, the band treated fans to Moss Shoes (last played on October 6, 2007) and paid tribute to MCA and the Beastie Boys by covering In 3s and Sabrosa.  The jamtronica act busted out Moss Shoes at the request of fans, who took to the band’s social networking sites to make their request known.
