Here’s a nice surprise to help you ease into the weekend: Another pair of solid live albums from the ever-dependable Brooklyn-via-Minneapolis rockers led by Craig Finn. As with all their recent Bandcamp drops, you can name your price for both releases. Check them out below.
Live in Nashville 9-6-19
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “This show was the middle frame of the three night stand we did at the Basement East. We remember the crowd at these shows were especially friendly, might have been the Southern charm. The Basement East is a great venue that unfortunately was hit hard by the tornado that ravaged this neighborhood about six months after this show. We opened with Hornets and threw in a few from the recently released Thrashing Thru The Passion, including Traditional Village, Blackout Sam, and Star 18. A great night from a great weekend. Excited to be coming back to Nashville in 2022. *NOTE: Hornets! Hornets! begins in progress.*
Live in London 3-7-20
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Just before the pandemic put our proverbial ship up on blocks, we were in London for The Weekender. In hindsight, it felt like we barely got these shows in, and when we touched down back in the States everything was about to lock down. So these shows feel like a window back to before, and this second night at the lovely Electric Ballroom was a blast. The U.K. version of Horn Steady came up and joined us on a number of songs and we even played The Feelers for the first time in front of an audience, when Open Door Policy was just a twinkle in our eyes. Great set, great room, great memories. See you soon London.”
