It’s hard to believe given how long they’ve been at it but Iron Maiden just released their 17th album. A lot of long 8+ minute songs so it takes patience to get into but its been great in the car for long errands or solo commutes.

I disagree with the beastie boys selection.

Whatever you say, LL Blue Jay.

Their shows are off the chains...

never got into emo but going to a show headlined by Joyce Manor tonight (doors open at 10pm lol i'm too old for this) as a friend's brother is drummer in the opening act

please advise

Juice - how was the show?

 

[leftcoastdeac]

Took in another great free show this weekend - opener was a local guy named Rob Drabkin and the headliner was Anders Osborne, playing an electric set with his band. He was coming off a show at the Telluride Blues & Brews fest, so this was only his 2nd show in 19 months.

Overall, it was a really good show; nice jams and solos and he went more rock/psych than his last couple of albums. Really lucky to have a Levitt Pavilion in Denver to put on high quality free shows.

I only went to the opener (my friend's brother is the drummer of Melkbelly -- he can play!)

but that show didn't start til 11pm and I'm old and had Saturday morning plans so I left before JM

Devon Gilfillian was a highlight of XPN for me, as was Simafunk.

Here's a vid of Devon



He did a killer "What's Goin On" cover with some brass instruments, but his whole vibe was outstanding. Killer voice, great band.

Cimafunk is a Cuban funk band, they absolutely brought it. They filled in for Dawes day 3, and I'm glad they did, such a dance party.

 

[mako1331]

Man, fuck y'all that was a good joke.

 

[deaconson]

Man, fuck y'all that was a good joke.

LL blue Jay? Agreed. Well done.

Devon is playing Gears & Guitars in winston on 9/25. I saw him in 2019 & had the same thoughts as you.

Townie, I read the NMH 33 1/3 book and it was great. Thanks for the tip. Have you read “our band could be your life”? It has a similar vibe to the 331/3 book. It’s one of my favorite books ever.
