Intended or unintended, the intro to the song Furr - vocals, guitar, harmonica - was as good a Bob Dylan impersonation I've seen. Looking forward to the new album.

From Tuesday's show at the Gothic. Closest thing I've seen to a hair band in a while. Two guitars and a keyboardist playing on top of pre-recorded audio ... at times rocking their heads violently.

I’ve always been a sucker for heavy percussion, but I tend to be less captivated by heavy guitar. The two together, however, throbbing in sync, leaves little room for skepticism. At least this was the case with Blitzen Trapper. Their performance at the High-Dive this week sold me on the band and the venue forever. This six man troupe unleashed their rhythm and melody mercilessly on those of us

2008-03-28T15:54:00.018-06:00

Why the Evangelicals were the opening band is beyond me. Both times I've seen them they've outperformed the headliner. Their live show has a looseness that compliments their tight studio sound. Loud, balanced and energetic - cut short by the restraints of being an opener.

Papercuts & Beach House

2008-03-26T19:37:00.014-06:00

Good show last weekend at the Hi-Dive. The Papercuts performed several songs I hadn't heard before - new songs I'd guess - most of which I liked. The dude from Beach House played the organ with them. Last time they played in Denver he wasn't around and I preferred their sound without him. His organ playing was heavy and drawn out, regularly dominating the Papercuts simple sound. Beach House was
