Built To Spill, 5/24/14, Higher Ground, Burlington, Vermont


Recommended Posts

Built to Spill stopped by Higher Ground in Burlington recently and simply blew the doors off the joint.  I have seen BTS a bunch of times over the years, but this was easily the best show I have seen them play.  With a new ryhthm section in tow - the band sounded very fresh and better than ever.  Doug and his band are the true anti-rock stars.  I love how they set up their own gear and generally don't display any of the shitty rock star stuff that other bands do.  They are sumpremely confident playing their material (and covers) - they simply let their music do the talking.  With no new album to push - we got the goods and more...

Saw them last week in Toronto. They did a killer cover of The Smiths "How Soon Is Now".
