10 Mile Music Hall |
Frisco |
CO | Guitar-led groove emerges between verses, everyone making unique contributions. Jam moves to ethereal, sustained space before 8 min to great effect, and tether to the Lost and Found theme while exploring, e.g. 10 min. Bubbling effects from Dani at 11 min add depth and disorientation to the peaceful guitar-centric jamming. Organ ramps up intensity after 12 min. After lyrics, some Jake-centric agile and jangly jamming to wrap. |

Antone's Nightclub |
Austin |
TX | Group effort peaky play early. Dissonant, percussive guitar after 8 min serves as a focal point for hive mind improvisation that, to this listener, elicits Phish Summer 1995 energy. When no one steers the ship, everyone steers the ship. Gets peaky after 11 min as Jake employs repeating effects to maximize his runs, Mike leans into the low end, and Dani colors the jam with alternating synth and piano tones. |

Wooly's |
Des Moines |
IA | Teases galore! Spare Jake and Dani call-and-response at 6 min serves a riff the band builds around. Grows expansive and noisier, mainly via Dani’s synths, e.g. 8.5 min. Jazzy section at 10 min is sublime, in Windup-adjacent space after 12 minutes. Flirts with Buying Time riff after 12.5 min, but walking bass jazz vibes continue as Jake fans his way to peaky vibes at 14 min before a smooth return to vocals. Little coda jam around 17 min tees up a return to Laurel from earlier in set. |

Stache, The |
Grand Rapids |
MI | Patient Tru-Trong boogie unfurls after 9 min. Dani squirmy keyboard textures add dimension and weirdness, e.g. 12 min. Drums propel jam forward and keys join the party at 14 min before guitar modulation at 16 min helps cleanly wrap the jam. |

Nectar Lounge |
Seattle |
WA | At 4 min everyone falls out for a 2 min Dani piano solo. Jam picks back up on a dime. Time Loves a Hero tease at 7 min. Exploratory jamming is briefly percussive, then fluid, then on-a-wire with guitar and keys interplay, e.g. 11 min. Hits a full band stride by 12 min, builds, and sings out before Jake deploys the Atomic Age riff. |

Boulder Theater |
Boulder |
CO | Starts to space before 6 min. Slow, layered Chase Bliss Mood shines by 8 min embedded into synthy bass and contrastingly peaceful keys, e.g. 10 min. Circles back to peaky, shreddy tones by 12 min before a return to vocals after 13 min. Trixieville tease after 15 min. Rolling along again 16-17 min. Rocking again by 18-19 min. Dark and brooding chunky momentum at 20 min. |
