Zoo Animal - Live in Concert

2012-06-09 Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetary Minneapolis,MN

You’ll notice Holly Newsom referencing the heat in-between songs…it was a hot day in June, and a great concert with Low & Zoo Animal. Featuring a lot of material from their most recent EP Departure, which is fantastic - pick it up at their Bandcamp site. Thanks to Zoo Animal for permission to post!

Spiritualized - Live in Concert

2012-05-02 First Avenue Minneapolis,MN

A driving 2-hour set from Jason Spaceman and crew. I was pleasantly surprised by how focused Spiritualized were live (this was my first time seeing them). Good fun. The Current was recording for broadcast that night as well, if anyone has access to the whole show recording, give me a shout.

Caveman - Live in Concert

7th Street Entry Minneapolis, MN

Recorded on a Tascam DR-07 mkii (XY Mic Config) 96khz 24bit Wav - encoded to 320 kbps MP3

Been loving Caveman since they opened for The War on Drugs last August. Their debut (spotify link below) is essential listening - melodic and textually diverse pop / rock.

Prissy Clerks - Live in Concert (opening for Caveman)
2012-04-14
7th Street Entry Minneapolis, MN

Recorded on a Tascam DR-07 mkii (XY Mic Config) 96khz 24bit Wav - encoded to 320 kbps MP3

Ahh, finally caught Prissy Clerks live. I am a huge Total Babe fan (Clara Salyer’s last band), and the Clerks have a similar sound - jangly guitar pop with great melodies. Can’t wait for the official first album, but I picked up a home recorded cassette (!) at the show.

Keep your ears peeled, a certain music blogger gets a shout-out from the stage half-way through the show :)

Thanks to Prissy Clerks for permission to post this recording!

Retribution Gospel Choir - Live in Concert (opening for Lucy Michelle & the Velvet Lapels)

A face melting performance from RGC. Rumor is that they will be playing a residency at the Turf Club in June (with Dead Man Winter to boot), so make sure to catch these guys live at some point this summer. It’s too fun to see Alan go nuts on geetar.

Be sure to download their new Revolution EP at retributiongospelchoir.com (it’s free and excellent)
