Last Day of The Year
It is dark, cold and windy outside here. Must be winter.
We are planning to go out tonight to a see a friend's band at a nearby bar. Last night we were out as well seeing another friend's band. Such is the life when you have musician friends. Then the night before we had a small dinner party.
Thus I'm feeling a little tired.
Last night we were at The Bluebird Theater to hear the friend's band, who opened for Slim Cessna's Auto Club. I'd never heard or seen Slim Cessna--and was very impressed. They put on a hell-of-a show.
The below paragraph describes their sound pretty well.

There's a host of influences at play in the music of Slim Cessna's Auto Club--bluegrass flat-picking, gothic noir, punk abandon--but before you jump to declare some strained approximation of their far-flung sound, take heed that the Denver group wants to be known as a country band, first and foremost.
If you are curious to hear the sound yourself...
