Once Again, The Theater Fire
Our friends played a three-set show last night, during which they actually almost ran out of songs. Now they're in Austin, getting ready for another show, all of which will be preparing them for their cross country tour in a few weeks. But what I really wanted to mention here was their write-up in Entertainment Weekly. When NPR and Time Warner plug you, you're well on your way to making it. Now if only Pitchfork would get in on the action...
For non EW-subscribers (such as myself)...
Kicking Up The Darkness: A dusty mystery of a song from this well-worn country group finds the narrator awaiting a shadowy stranger. ''Should I wear a flower or a gun?/ Should we stay to greet or should we run?'' he wonders as a lonesome slide guitar adds haunting pathos. With its ambiguous messianic themes, ''Kicking Up the Darkness'' questions the unknown with honest wonder. Download The Song Here.
And now I've got to get back to laying some visuals over their music - something I've been doing quite a bit of lately.

If only I had read this Saturday. I would have liked to see them at the Long Branch.
Thanks for the link. I'll try to catch them next time they're here.
