Stephanie Dore – There’s a certain level of compatibility that bandmates have with each other, and then there’s Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel of the ever-impressive Mates of State, who maintained an almost overly cute level of eye-contact, shared grins and teasing banter throughout their show.
Timbrrr! 2015 started without us because of what boils down to “reasons,” but we got there in time to see DJ Troy Nelson introduce Legs and find the Icicle Brewery booth. Legs. LEGS! Where have you been my whole life?
Ian Cunningham – T’was the night before Thanksgiving and Sturgill Simpson played to a sold out house at the Tractor Tavern. For those unfamiliar, Sturgill Simpson is a classic country-style singer from Kentucky who has been referred to as “the savior of the genre.”
Tori Dickson – The doors opened a little late and, once inside, people were anxious for the show to start. Eavesdropping on the conversations around me, everyone was asking the same question: “when do we get to see the Allah-Lahs?”
Justin Jensen – Opening act T.O.M. And His Computer performed for only 30 minutes, but served as a welcome refresher for what fans have come to expect from a Trentemøller show. First haunting synth, reminiscent of the Theremin, and then comes the spine-tingling bass line.
