There were a lot of mammals – of the stuffed variety and of the soggy variety – at the Natural History Museum on Friday night. The occasion was the February installment of the museum’s First Fridays, and along with the event’s normal fare of fossils, exhibits, tours, discussions and DJs, there were sets from two buzzy indie bands, NYC’s Yeasayer and L.A. trio Warpaint. A huge crowd braved the rain to heap adulation [above] on the bands, and photographer Jeff Koga braved the crowd to send along this gallery. [Next up: March 5 with Deer Tick and an opener TBA.]
