Blind Pig, The |
Ann Arbor |
MI | Scraggly keys with muted guitar early, then organ lifts jam into peaky territory with a swinging blues bassline and off-beat cymbal groove. Hi-hat speed clinic, briefly, at 10 min, with a drum solo for a few minutes. Dramatic guitar scrapes and pulsing synths precede a purposefully-paced Chase Bliss Mood segment. Pivot to clean guitar tones after 19 min. |

Fox Theatre, The |
Boulder |
CO | Springy guitar space births a snappy stop-start groove at 9 min. Synths shine in this democratic four-way dance party. Drum break 13 min. Jake-led exploration by 15 min moves to Chase Bliss Mood space by 17 min: a mind-bending boogie. Mike’s groove and Alex's cymbals utilize off-beat accents to engage. Guitar drives the crowd to a peak by 22 min, which subsides to permit a menacing guitar, drum, and bass groove after 23 min. Searing guitar, crashing cymbals and drums give prolonged manic, peaky vibes. |

Beachland Ballroom |
Cleveland |
OH | Effortless, jubilant grooves. Jam swirls early before pivoting to ethereal whammy-driven reverb tones at 7 min. Synth touches accompany a marching groove, then peaky drum fills at 11 min before a return to the melody. A rhythmic Clav groove follows at 14 min, setting up circular guitar-centric jamming at 15 min that gains reverb and delay tones. Band slays for a few minutes before segueing to 12 Pounds of Pain. |

Salvage Station |
Asheville |
NC | Takes off at 8 min with echoing keys that trail behind the guitar and lead to spare space. Slow-rolling drums at 9.5 min invite guitar effects and protracted synthy bass tones. Chase Bliss Mood guitar emerges and the band gloms on. Dani knows how to stretch things via various keyboard effects, then corrals the improv with more soothing tones, e.g. 13 min, while Mike and Jake keep pushing for another minute. |

Atomic |
St. Louis |
MO | Jake borrows some of Dani's staccato Clav energy after 3.5 min and serves up a mesmerizing yet spare passage. He introduces a descending line around 6 min and toggles between that and the staccato riffing. Great tension building from Mike begins around 8.5 min. Pivots to a full band build after 9 min with a brief, tidy return to lyrics at 10.5 min that doesn’t impede peaky play. Lets off the gas at 12 min to return to Backyard Bear. |

Headliners Music Hall |
Louisville |
KY | Exploratory space after 4.5 min. Rhythmic guitar riffing & Clav, then an anthemic turn with near Tweezer Reprise DNA at 6.5 min. Full band poking & prodding turns fluid & peaky with piano accents & great bass play as the glue at 9 min. Super hose with momentum, briefly. Band peels off before 11 min, more on a wire improv follows. Dani gets a piano assist from Jake near 13 min; synth touches elevate the vibe. Near-drum solo at 14.5 min with downbeat strums from Jake & piano yielding Not Fade Away vibes. |

XL Live |
Harrisburg |
PA | Jake uses fluid runs to get exploratory in between the verses. Queen's Gambit tease before 6.5 min. Brief Walk This Way percussive vibes after 10 min inform the mood. Nimble listening on display, who doesn't love a hey-hole group exercise? A downbeat, rocking groove with Dani synth flourishes gets cranked around 16 min. Slick and quick move to Boom or Bust at 18 min. |
