The theme for this year’s First Fridays series at the Natural History Museum is “This Time It’s Personal,” and that concept could hardly have been better realized in music than by A.A. Bondy and Father John Misty. As he has in other recent stops in L.A. behind his latest album “Believers,” Bondy on Friday night instilled a haunting quality into his Americana, hypnotizing all who were considerate enough to halt their conversations during his set (and many weren’t). Father John Misty found frontman Josh Tillman (ex-Fleet Foxes) in high theatrical spirit as he performed songs from FJM’s Sub Pop debut “Fear Fun.” The final installment of 2012’s First Fridays, a monthly event that brings live music and DJs into the museum’s exhibition halls, goes off in June.
