Carolina Chocolate Drops at a tiny club in Bloomington last night. It was sold out and packed. Wonderful show. It's more of a sitting show with a couple tunes to dance to. The band even mentioned and apologized for the lack of seating. They played two sets but didn't leave the stage during set break but the club was so packed it would have been a biznatch for them to try to get to a dressing room. Extremely talented and funny. I love how they give you the history of the older covers before they play them. Dom really keeps the show interesting. I will def catch their set again at Roo.

Saw Dr. Dog at Live Lunch a couple weeks ago and it was a great show! I was hoping to see them in lieu of seeing them at Roo, but the show made me want to see a full set instead. Lots of fun! Also, listened to Carolina Chocolate Drops on the radio during a LL and could kick myself for not going. Insanely talented and can play the heck out of each instrument they play!

Thee Silver Mount Zion was SOOOOO good last night. Probably the best show I've seen so far this year. I can't wait for Godspeed to be back. ATP please!

Furthur is playing these "stealth" shows in Marin County and I caught 2 this week. They announce a week before when tickets are going on sale, put out 300 or so tickets (1 to a customer), and play a couple of hours in a tiny venue. The band is amazing. Lesh and Weir are obviously known quantities to any fan of the Dead. But Russo on drums, Kadlecek on guitar and vocals, and Chimenti on keyboards are just electrifying.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals Saturday night @ 9:30 Club. Amazing show and got to talk to meet the band when we saw them hanging out next to the bus afterwards.
So woah man, awesome fest I went to recently. Somewhere up in Tennessee, real killer time the whole weekend. Any of you guys know what I'm talking about man? It was really far out, the fest was.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at 20th Century Theater in Cincinnati. They put on an amazing show and it was fun being so close compared to Bonnaroo last year.

I raced back home after Roo (got a $200 speeding ticket in Louisville) to see Mumford and Sons. They sold out the local club which doesn't happen too often. The last time it sold out that I'm aware of was when OCMS came to town a few years ago. What can I say? Badass show, douchey crowd. I had to stand next to 5 people from Chicago. They were drunk and their breath was just plain awful, every single one of them. They were screaming every lyric, which is just plain annoying to me.
I actually expected a quiet folky show and was surprised when they rocked out. I was disappointed not to see the accordian at all. I really wanted to hear Sister without mics, but they didn't play it which was also disappointing. Here's a few pics I shot at the show.

Nice. When I saw them in Boston in April, they only went an hour and a half. Then again, the House of Blues has a stiff curfew.
Speaking of Boston, I was up there last night to see Isis and the Melvins. Melvins weren't bad. Isis on the other hand, they were one of the bands I started getting into recently. Was awesome seeing them, especially since it's their last show in their hometown and third to last show overall. Wish I had knew about them sooner.

Saw Delta Spirit last night at a small local club and they were amazing! Mostly focused on the new disc with about 3-4 from the last one. Unfortunately they had to cut their set short b/c the club turns into a UK Mod Underground at 10pm . Not as good as their Roo 2009 set but they were still awesome

Admittedly, I am unfamiliar with Ween but I went with Wolfaroo and a few other loyal fans to see them last Thursday at the Vogue in Indy. Another sold out show. Ween brings out a varied crowd. It was a pretty good show.
Notice the Roo bracelet on the guy holding the boognish^^^

As per usual, The New Pornographers put on a stellar show Saturday. I love it when Neko and AC are actually on the same stage together. It's like watching Kim Deal and Frank Black... so clearly talented but so clearly hating each other... while so clearly ROCKING.

I saw Damien Jurado and Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground at a tiny local venue recently. Damien (he performed both with and without a band) was flawless, and Kay Kay was so much fun. Tuba, euphonium, trombone, mandolin, two guitars, percussion, and a bass. He had an 80s, new wave voice that was so interesting laid on top of that full band. I highly recommend!
I caught a show a couple nights ago and it was insanely good. It was Hank 3 and Assjack. I went in with then intention of leaving after the country/hellbilly set. After the first set they started playing a little heavier....not quite metal....had a bit of punk/hard rock/thrashy flavor to it (that is about the only way i can think to describe it) then went into the metal assjack stuff a few songs later. I haven't really been into metal in years and didn't leave until the end. Even contemplated slam dancing a bit. His attitude and interaction with the crowd just made it impossible for me to get out of there without feeling as if I was being disrespectful. It was pretty refreshing to see someone whom I could tell just really loved performing live for people and was playing such a diverse set. Any who if he come anywhere near your town it is well worth the twenty bucks.

They played the Old Town School's Folk & Roots fest in Chicago over the weekend. And they opened for Caribou in Millennium Park on Monday too, but I missed that one.
I think they only have two records out now, right? With a third on the way? I need to pick them up.

Yep, 3rd is on the way. At least, that is what I thought I understood the extremely drunk trumpet player to be saying throughout the show. Man, he was probably drunker than anyone in the crowd. He still tore it up though.

This setlist speaks for itself. Pretty much the perfect Weezer show, plus outside and on the water. ;D
Hash Pipe Troublemaker Undone (The Sweater Song) Surf Wax America Trippin' Down the Freeway Keep Fishin' Perfect Situation Dope Nose (Sung by Scott) Say It Ain't So Island in the Sun Brian's Theme Can't Stop Partying El Scorcho My Name is Jonas Beverly Hills Hot for Teacher (Intro-teaser) Pork and Beans Kids/Poker Face (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To Buddy Holly
I saw Delta Spirit last night and they absolutely destroyed. The packed crowd was completely into it, and the band fed off their energy. They're great songwriters but with that incredible band they are able to take it to another level live. Their drummer is such a badass.
