This is one for the headphones, trust me. Please pardon the lack of a set list and any incorrectly tracked songs. I really like this band but I am not super familiar with some of the material. Giants, One For the Team & Daybreak opened. Please support the bands by stopping at the merch table.

Giants are a very tight band and I would tape future shows. I highly recommend you check them out when they come to town. They have two releases that you may also want to add to your music collection. Health was very supportive of taping so bring your gear. Soundboard and video are probably fine as well but be sure to talk with the band. This was a set opening for the Appleseed Cast. One For the Team and Daybreak were also on the bill.

The levels start out a little warm because I had to go get a friend from the bar.

There are so many great bands active in Minneapolis/St. Paul right now. Well going back to the late 70s/early 80s I guess that's nothing new. The Turf Club is the St. Paul venue in my opinion, so freezing wind punching me in the face and all I crossed that river to capture the 1s & 0s on another No Bird Sing set. GWMC opened with DJ sets by DJ Anton.

The Drift @ The Triple Rock (Matrix)

I made audience and soundboard recordings of the Drift's set when they came through with MONO and Pelican. I originally seeded my audience tape but my buddy Zach took the soundboard and matrixed the two sources. I haven't listened yet but word is it's hard to tell if it's a live recording at times.

The audience source as well as a 5/18/08 ATP Festival recording can both be heard on the Live Music Archive.

Here's a link to the matrix torrent.

Gastro Non Grata @ The Triple Rock

I went to tape Gospel Gossip at the Triple Rock last night but the taping conditions were not optimal. The place was packed and I showed up to the venue late after having a BBQ chicken po-boy and some beers in the bar. Saw some really nice sets though. Skirt, Jim & the French Vanilla and That's What You Get also played.

It was Gastro Non Grata, a free event featuring beer tasting with Tom Gardner of Duvel USA. Food tasting with Jim Grell of the Modern Cafe and cupcake tasting with Miel Y Leche Catering.

I wanted to get this great set out a couple of weeks ago but I fell into the drink. Thank you for baring with me.

Lucy Michelle and the Velvet Lapelles & Black Blondie opened Aby Wolf's CD Release show. * Unfortunately track one is missing the first 15 seconds. At the Cedar you usually start recording with the house intro. There was no intro and poof BB were on stage! Many thanks to both the bands and the Cedar for permitting these stellar sets to be recorded.
