It was another fun Noise Pop here in the sunny Bay Area.
Over the week I was able to check out Grand Archives at Amoeba, then saw them again at the Independent the following night. They are strong and have a good future ahead....singer/guitarist formerly of Band of Horses, who we can't get enough of in this house.
Kelley Stoltz blew me out of the water. His backing band was sick and he is off the charts talented. David Byrne meets Tom Waits with some Dylan and swing and poetics. Would love to see more of him...he is off on tour.
Delta Spirit at Cafe du Nord was lovely, mostly due to the fact that that album is one of the defining sounds of my February, which is OVER . thank god. Port O'Brien were very very fair. I really wanted to love them but didn't.
Off to bed. Hope everyone is well...





Are Grand Archives more or less in a similar vein as Band of Horses?
