akron/family and great lake swimmers
I was thinking of writing something about the show I saw the other night, but I don't really do concert reviews, and someone beat me to it anyway. All I can add is that I was not undecided about Akron/Family (they were awesome). I ended up buying Great Lake Swimmers' new album as well as Akron/Family's self-titled. Here's a track from each, to convince you to (a) buy the albums, and (b) see these bands when they come through your town on their tour.
Great Lake Swimmers - Various Stages [mp3, 3 MB; buy the album]The first track struck me when they played it live. The second track somehow gives the listener a taste of both the album and the band's live show, despite the striking difference between the two.
Akron/Family - Suchness [mp3, 4 MB; buy the album]
