Ah, that Denver sound. Enraptured me in the late 90’s. Those first couple of 16 Horsepower records, Devotchka’s first records, the Denver Gentlemen, Tarantella and of course, the great Slim Cessna’s Autoclub. Like us, in a category all to themselves. Like some sort of fucked-up cult revival, that also feels earnest and genuine. Excellent songwriting chops and unparalleled live. We will be taking the middle support slot THIS SATURDAY, October 19. Get your tickets here. We will be playing a short set of mostly new songs to get you warmed up.

We’ve opened for them many times but it’s been six or seven years and we’re excited to hear how they’ve evolved, because they are always evolving. Also, first time playing The Clockout Lounge, a venue that has been impressing me with their bookings lately.

Don’t forget that we will be playing a longer set, two in fact, at The Swedish Club on Friday, November 1st. This show is free, all-ages, full bar for 21+ with ID and hosted in a mid-century modern time capsule with a panoramic view of Lake Union and downtown. Plus, three giant free parking lots…on Queen Anne! Not to be missed. Donations gladly accepted and dressing up seems like the right thing to do. We’ll be starting at 7pm and going until 9pm. See you there.
