2024-10-03Sweaters for StrawmenEggy Echo Music Hall, The Dallas TXDroning guitar scrapes & light keys after 8.5 min morph into explorative textures over a confident-yet-understated groove. Descending, atonal piano near 11 min as Jake wrestles melodies. Rhythm section rises with guitar & keys to great effect, then sidesteps into new space with ride cymbal, circular guitar licks, melodic bass, & synth accents, e.g. 13 min. In lieu of a peak, Jake leans into Chappell Roan's song of the summer at 15 min, again at 16 min as the band froths, & once more at 17.5 min.
2024-11-29Sweaters for StrawmenEggy Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYAn early ebullient departure via Dani synths, measured guitar, and a patient, in-the-pocket rhythm section. Organ swells after 6 min redirect Jake from percussive play to drawn-out lead lines that turn crunchy after 8 min, when sustained synth layers affirm the exploratory intent. A descending, spare, delicate piano melody after 9 min imbues emotion and movement into the jam. Guitar, bass, and drums rally around that theme and play out as the jam froths from 11 to 13.5 min before a clean return to Sweaters.
2025-03-21Sweaters for StrawmenEggy Higher Ground South Burlington VTWhammy haze and echoing synths push the sound early, e.g. 4 min. Jake explores with Tru-Tron sear over Dani's gentle bed of synths and piano. Guitar and keys display more bite from 7-8 min, then hook up before the move to Jet Airliner generates momentum from thin air.
2025-04-06Sweaters for StrawmenEggy Charleston Pour House Charleston SCSustained synths at 3 min lure the band into improvisational space quickly.

2025-09-04Sweaters for StrawmenEggy WTMD First Thursday Festival Baltimore MDClav-tinged early, from 3-4 min, then touches of synths as smooth guitar lines lead to open space. Improvisation is light and floats gently from 5-6 min. Spare and collaborative play benefits from Dani's piano play before 8 min and births a melodic, "Slave"-like jam. Resplendent play unfurls for several minutes, eventually tipping over via repeating blissful guitar and bass figures from 10-12 min.
2026-03-11Sweaters for StrawmenEggy 1884 Lounge at Minglewood Hall Memphis TNA syncopated groove sears early. Synths spookily sprawl, hearkening to outer space and the deep sea simultaneously, e.g. 5 min. Jam expands via melodic bass, rolling drums, and echoing, high-register guitar effects. Pivots from an ascent via Jake's Ring Mod effect to a snappy, industrial groove with bird-like synths, e.g. 9-10 min. Clean guitar lines with Wurlitzer tones corral the cacophonous groove to a peaceful singularity after 10 min. Around 12 min, a serene space that makes room for segue into I Pray.
2026-03-15Sweaters for StrawmenEggy Lincoln Theatre Raleigh NCFunky groove early, fluidly morphs to sparer space after 5 min. Turns ambient after 6 min with twangy, measured guitar and repeating keyboard effects to segue into a Tom Corner Walker headspace.
