So good. I was feeling cynical thinking I'd just be wishing for a full NMH set the whole time, but damn, Jeff Mangum made me leaving quite satisfied. I'm not much for acoustic sets, but damn was he emotive. It was everything I could've hoped for.
Silver Mt. Zion was really, really good last night. They're playing some Canadian shows and then the northwest if anyone is a fan. If you like them at all you should consider catching them
did any of the other guys play with him? I know at least a couple were opening for him
Oh man, how did I forget to mention this:
Scott Spillane played trumpet on a couple songs!
And also, Andrew, Scott, and Laura which was a supergroup of Scott Spillane and Andrew Rieger and Laura Carter of Elf Power. Played a bunch of Gerbils and Elf Power songs, some originals they wrote together, and a few covers. All 3 of them would join Mangum during his set on occasion. All was great.
Silver Mt. Zion was so fucking good last night! I'll say it again because I love the filter: so fucking GOOD! They played 2 new songs that are serious contenders for their best material yet. Portland folks, y'all should seriously consider catching them at Mississippi Studios tonight, wherever that is.
Shit guys!! James is playing at Neumos in Seattle the Sunday before Coachella. You can bet my happy ass will be front and center for this one. I can't wait to catch them in a small dark venue and then at one of the biggest festivals on earth within the same week.

Gah, where do you see that? And more importantly, do they have a Portland date?
