<Update> – two photos on flickr from the show – sorry for the low quality but I only had the cellphone camera, and the way the stage was setup we were watching Nellie’s back through most of it. Strange to watch someone sing and play piano from behind – but the sound was great. Here she’s playing the ukulele – [...]
Bradley’s Almanac has Sebadoh Live at the Paradise: Overall, great set, nice and long, and not super-tight… but if it was, it wouldn’t have been Sebadoh.

As I’ve said before, KEXP rocks. Latest find, courtesy of KEXP’s live performances podcast, which recorded them at SXSW, is a Danish band called Under Byen. They remind me of the Sugarcubes crossed with Sigur Rós – and not just because they sing in Danish, which is as incomprehensible to me as Icelandic, but because they create beautiful, atmospheric, alternative [...]
