B.Side (Boulder, Colorado)

We had two fun shows this week here in Colorado – one up in the mountains on Thursday night, and one on Saturday night in downtown Boulder. We were fortunate enough to make some new fans and friends at one, who then came down and joined us for the other… it’s always nice when it works out that way. The show up in the mountains was in Dillon, at a small bar/restaurant with a lot of locals sharing the evening with us. It was our first time playing in the town, but we’ll be sure to go back this winter when the ski season is in full swing. On Saturday night, we played at the b.side in Boulder, formerly known as Trilogy. We really enjoyed ourselves, and shared the stage with our friends in Boulder Acoustic Society. It was a weird night in downtown Boulder, as if the plague had chased everyone out of town. We had about 60 people in the room total for the night (circulating in and out), and the staff told us that we were “by far” the biggest draw in town. Other bars were literally closing their doors at 10pm for lack of business – on a Saturday night. Really strange. Anywho, we did our best to entertain those who made it out, and we had Kailin Yong, BAS’ violinist, join us on Don, View, Eoghan, and Egg. We taped the entire show, though I’ve yet to listen to it to see how the recording turned out. We don’t have the best luck in the world with recording live shows… lightning seems to strike almost every time, whether it’s the ProTools freezing up midway through the set, or the computer being accidentally shut down before saving, or microphones crapping out or weird noises (air conditioners, loud bartenders) interrupting the music, or whatever… so here’s hoping that Saturday’s show is audible. Here’s the setlist from Saturday (the Thursday show was a setlist on-the-fly, so I’ll have to consult with the guys to piece it together from memory):

The next live show is July 11th in Denver, and in the interim we’re going to be working on a lot of writing and web work. The former will result in some new sketches (MP3s) here for y’all to check out, and the latter will result in all kinds of locations for you to hear and share our music with as many friends, neighbors, pets, and neighbors’ pets as you can. We’re also booking our midwest and northeast shows for October, as well as a Pacific Northwest tour in November. If you have suggestions for venues or towns we should visit, drop us an email!
