Iron and Wine at Sonic Boom

Great in-store from Iron and Wine. From what I almost heard.

I must have missed the memo on Iron and Wine's most recent tour, because by the time I heard anything about it both the Vera Project and Triple Door shows were long sold out.But honestly, he should be playing the Moore/Paramount.
KEXP announced Wednesday while I was at work that Sam Beam would be playing an free acoustic set at Sonic Boom on Capitol Hill at 6 pm. I should have left work early, because I didn't make it until 6:15 and the crowd was piled out the door. I can now say that I've heard Iron and Wine live even though it was hardly audible above the traffic on 15th. I still can't say I've seen Iron and Wine live, despite checking every angle, standing on my tip toes, and strongly considering climbing a parked car.
I wasn't that bumbed about it until I saw the comment some guy made here.
Oh well, I'm sure Sam Beam will play a free, intimate, acoustic show down the street from my apartment again soon.... Dammit.

Elvis Goes Dylan

Elvis Perkins In Dear Land

Stereogum just posted this video of one Elvis Perkins in Dearland. I haven't heard anything by this artist before so I was a little skeptical when the song "shampoo" was described as "a standout amongst standouts and one of the best folk songs you'll hear this year." But as far as singles, I think I have to agree. A great warm organ tone, harmonica, catchy drum beat, attention holding voice. This is good stuffI Just hope the album is this great. It's due oue on March 10. At any rate, they have an upright bass!



Elvis Perkins in Dearland will be playing at the Tractor Tavern Monday March 9.
The show starts at 8 o'clock 21+ and is $14 and tickets are Here.

For all you youngins, you can still see them perform at Easy Street Records on the same day. The time for that one says 7:30 so I assume they wont be opening at the Tractor at 8.

Continuing our backwards time travel, they will be performing on KEXP at noon the on the 9th. Three shows in one day! The stamina...

Also, apparently I have been blatantly ignoring Perkins because here he is on Letterman.
