Comets on Fire at Black Cat 8/31


Desperately revelatory. Imagine what Grateful Dead circa '68 (tunes like The Other One and The Eleven) would sound like if they were new, if they were now -- seriously, this band is very hippy, very hardcore, and very convincing. For those that know the records I'll take any recommendations. Have heard only the first one which had a Jon Spencer thing, which is fine-- but not what they were up to on Friday. Will definitely see them again.

Blue Cathedral, their second or third record depending if you count their pre-SubPop record or not, is awesome. Just a howling scree of noise blues with acoustic interludes. That record is when they really took a left turn.
