Fleet Foxes @ the Mohawk (Austin, TX), July 2.
Don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited that the Fleet Foxes are returning to Austin tomorrow. You may've had a chance to catch one of their showcases during SXSW this past March...but I didn't. You know how it goes with SXSW...you have all these plans, then you have all this liquor, then you lose your schedule, next thing you know you're drinking free Bass Ales with Cadence Weapon in some parking lot that has a stage...but I digress.
This Wednesday, on the Mohawk's Outside stage, you can hear the harmonic, mountaintop acoustic-majesty that is the Fleet Foxes’ live show. If you’ve somehow missed all the buzz about these guys, they have a reputation for putting on a superb live performance. Might I add that I'm loving this new trend in really big-sounding, quiet music. I'm talking about artists like Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, and Fleet Foxes, artists whose records sound incredibly intimate with moments of huge wall-of-sound mass that just sweep you away.
Seattle's The Dutchess & The Duke, as well as the tragically named Balmorhea, will be opening for the Fleet Foxes. Tickets are only $8, (sold out) so please don't stand on the sidewalk and listen for free…that just makes me sad. I saw people doing that at the Matt & Kim show...which was free. What's the deal?
The Fleet Foxes’ label, Sub Pop, offers us bloggers - and you mortals - a free (and legal) mp3, below. On a side note, Sub Pop is probably the most blogger-friendly of all labels, so perhaps you other turkeys should follow suit.
