New Shows: My Morning Jacket, The Ventures, Dropkick Murphys, Black Francis

My Morning Jacket

One of my favorite live bands. I wasn't really into southern rock the first time I saw My Morning Jacket, but fell in love with Jim James' voice. It's really hard not to, since he goes a couple octaves higher than on their albums. If you haven't seen the American Dad/Jim James episode, you should seek that out immediately. It's so true.

Black Francis

The lead singer of the Pixies, who has a rather impressive belly. I found myself face to face with said belly at Dante's during MusicfestNW 2009. I was a bit star struck, but felt inadequate, and had to leave early.
