The National and Yeasayer @ Central Park Summerstage

On a strangely beautiful Monday night, Brooklyn-based success stories The National and Yeasayer played a sold-out show at Central Park's Summerstage. Definitive "blog bands," it was quite a treat to see a hometown crowd fill Summerstage (and then some, with fans camped out on the perimeter) to see two bands that have never had a traditional hit song.
