anthony Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What did you think of Punch Brothers?They are an amazingly talented band who put on a great show with a ton of energy. They had moments of true brilliance (like the DeBussy cover). However, they often try stuff that can be called somewhat avant garde or experimental (like the Kid A cover). I prefer them playing the traditional Ameriana stuff over the other. More Carter Family and less Philip Glass. But a minor complaint. They are really good and I would recommend their live show.

brownie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Never lets you down. I've been listening to Transcendental Blues (the album) a lot lately for whatever reason. That was the first time I've seen him, and frankly, I knew next to nothing about his music before last night, aside from his fantastic reputation. I came to know of him, oddly enough, from his dramatic roles in The Wire and in Treme. One of his songs was used over the closing credits of one of the Treme episodes and I have never forgotten it. I was very surprised to find that I recognized two more of his songs last night -- I Ain't Ever Satisfied and Copperhead Road -- although I don't know how I know these songs. I was also somewhat surprised to learn that both of the characters he played on those shows were not a million miles away from who he really is. I thought he was great last night.

Dude has been through the ringer and emerged through the other side writing and playing better as time goes on. Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 ^^^ Steve Earle played a recovered addict/counselor on The Wire. His character was instrumental in helping "Bubbles" through his issues. I binge watched The Wire last year!! I've seen Steve multiple times in concert and was lucky enough to meet him and spend around 30 minutes with him a few years ago before a show. He's a terrific songwriter. Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This probably belongs in the "After The Show" section but I'm too lazy to start a thread: Mark Kozelek played a mostly insult-free early show in Vancouver last night at what is normally a DJ dance club. I Know It's PatheticI Watched the Film The SongThe PossumRichard RamirezMichelineGustavoI Can't Live Without My Mother's LoveHey You BastardsMarietteSunshine in ChicagoBy The Time I AwokeDogsCarissaWar On Drugs: SMCHe Always Felt Like DancingEncore:Ali/SpinksCarolineHe did a few vocals-only songs, Micheline, was one. He tried to do Sunshine in Chicago this way but couldn't remember the lyrics. When he sat down and started playing it on guitar all the lyrics came back to him. He asked if anyone in the crowd was a drummer ("like a real drummer, not a motherf*cking drunk") and a brave dude climbed up on stage to do 4 or 5 songs with him. Koz was pretty relaxed, yukking it up a bit. Tripped on his mic cord and knocked his nylon-string guitar off its stand. Good show. Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I forgot to post this yesterday but I saw Roseanne Cash last night. Nice show. She did the entire new album "The River and the Thread" in sequence for the first set. Link to post Share on other sites
