Hear Ya posts an amazing live session with A.A. Bondy. Above, find a video of “Slow Parade” (my favorite song of 2009) from said session. You’ll notice it’s rounded out with a nice distorted jam at the end. Great stuff!
News:
Last night I caught Langhorne Slim at Turner Hall Ballroom. I’ve been seeing him/them over the past five years, but I can honestly say they’ve found their perfect live formula, running like a well-oiled machine. They’ve rounded out their traditional 3-piece line up with a saxophone and banjo. It was high energy and a lot of fun. Dan’s got a new hi-def camera that brought back some nice video: “Land Of Dreams,” “And If It’s True,” “We Love The Animals”
The Drive-By Truckers have announced their tour which skips over Wisconsin completely, but does land in Chicago with Langhorne Slim on Friday, April 9th at the Vic Theatre.

I’m a bit disappointed that the Truckers aren’t coming here too considering the apology and promise to come back to the cities they missed due to Patterson’s illness. But, A) Chicago isn’t that far and B) with the news of RJD2 playing Milwaukee, I’ll save a little gas by not having to go to Madison.
