By John Michael Cassetta • Jul 9th, 2008 • Category: Music, Show Previews
Brazos, the fantastic local band who has me on the edge of my seat with any news of new material, will be at Progress Coffee every Friday this month, starting the 11th and ending on August 1st. This Friday, they’ll be joined by The Weird Weeds and Nat Baldwin (formerly of Dirty Projectors).
Brazos haven’t been out much lately, and their debut EP A City Just As Tall is still in regular rotation on my CD player at home. I’ll be excited to see what new stuff they’ve been cooking up in Martin’s bedroom, or wherever they’re recording now-a-days. Check out the mp3 for “Mary Jo” below if you really need more convincing to see them at one of four shows.
The Weird Weeds put out their third album I Miss This earlier this year, which was met with rave reviews, at least by this critic. As far as live shows go, Sandy Ewan spends most of the show on the ground with her guitar and a bow and along with guitarist Aaron Russell and master drummer Nick Hennies craft some of the most interesting live shows in town. If you’ve never seen The Weird Weeds, now’s the perfect time to start. If you’ve been there, done that, there’s no reason not to do it again. Be sure to welcome them back from their June tour.
