Madison Live |
Covington |
KY | Keyboards shine between verses. Effortlessly shreddy early, e.g. 8 min. Rides a peak for several minutes. Lets off the gas to reorient, but only briefly; piano and guitar shine at 13 min before a dark, rhythmic segment after 14 min. Veers back at 17 min. |

Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom |
Denver |
CO | Rockets along in peaky, searing, familiar space until a pivot at 11 min, when adept Alex play ("I gotta have my cowbell, baby!") points the jam in a spare-yet-improvisatory direction. Leans back into Onitsuka DNA at 15 min. Superb 5 minute narration from Mike, with goading guidance from Dani, is more than worth your time. |

Paradise Rock Club |
Boston |
MA | Dani flexes on synths in between verses at 2 min. Emerging jam has sizzle thanks to Alex crash cymbals and Jake playing out after 7 min. Taps the brakes for percussive exploration by 9 min, lovely synth textures on top add depth before a return to the verse and then narration from Mike. |

Cornerstone |
Berkeley |
CA | Tones push out at 10 min into weirdness, briefly. Cam Herdt story starts at 13 min about Sean and a gummy-fueled walk in Alameda that turns into a soaring adventure. Great Dani effects, and vocals, paint the scene. Whole band instrumentation accentuates the story quite nicely. |

Orazen Tavern |
Aurora |
OH | Twangy guitar pulls band to exploration by 8 min. Urgent tension at 10 min, then rumbling bass, snappy drums, circular riffs. Springy strums and a primal beat precede Tru-Tron layers on a rising jam, e.g. 14 min. Brakes, then veers to cacophony and synth bass. Nearly The Other One at 19 min; morphs to nimble, light passage that adds muscle. Rises, peaks, and jams on Silver Steed (My Blue) after 24 min. Returns to Onitsuka; finds a syncopated, warbly groove at 28-29 min. Mike narration wraps. |
