The four bearded LA guys of Eulogies rocked! At the Larimer Lounge last night. A tight set with sweet harmonies from all the guys, lots of tambourine and some old-time photos playing from the slide projector onto the drum kit. Guitarist Garrett Deloian, in full shaggy mountain man mode, went to school in Colorado, and his parents and brothers and ol' Colorado buddies turned out for the show after dark on a weeknight. The beginning of the set went by so fast. The band was playing through song after song with no breaks but finally talked a bit with the audience toward the end. Their new album "Here Anonymous" (includes the song "Two Can Play" with guest vocals from Nikki of Silversun Pickups) came out this past Tuesday. The Eulogies were in Denver not so long ago, and now, after being on the road for a while, they sound really crisp live. Next up for them is a tour with the Dears (with Great Northern too!) but looks like that one will skip Denver.
Also at the LL last night, Bad Veins out of Cincinnati. Seeing them live is a trip, since it's just Sebastien (drums) and Benjamin (vocals, guitar) onstage. In fact, you get the sense Benjamin would perform solo if he could. But the pounding Sebastien does on the drums brings so much to the live show. They've rigged up a contraption to play all the various instruments in the background that the two of them wouldn't be able to do on their own live (string plucking on "The Lie," brass, piano, etc). Their first album is about to come out soon
Doves' new album came out Tuesday. They'll be in Denver 5/26. You can listen to the album now on MySpace.
Sara Watkins, 1/3 of Nickel Creek, has a solo album out too. More on that later. Just know that the production is spare to let put her vocals and violin playing front and center. Kind of like you're at the campfire, listening in as Watkins and friends play some originals and covers for you.
Also, while Peelander-Z is playing at the Hi-Dive on Friday, 4/10, Popwreck will be at the Larimer Lounge. Choose wisely
Black Kids are in town 4/15 at the Oriental Theater. With Mates of State.
