New Shows: STS9, Morcheeba, Loudon Wainwright III, Cold War Kids, The Thermals, Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground

STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9)

A combination of hippie jam rock and electronic music with a grand light show. I always feel sorry for the drummer, who stands out as one of the best drummers I've seen live. It's torturous playing for as long as they play, especially with the output he puts forth. I'll be hitting double digits in STS9 shows soon. I guess I like them live.

Loudon Wainwright III

So your dad is named Loudon, your dad's dad is named Loudon, yet you name your first son Rufus? He obviously wanted a dog. I hear they are much cheaper.
