One of the natural benefits of the festival format is getting the chance to hear music from people you’re unfamiliar with (whom you’re unfamiliar). The Treasure Island folks did a great job this year of putting top-notch local acts into the early slots.
I had heard praise for Or, The Whale over at ipickmynose, so I dragged my rocked carcass back over to the island early on Sunday for their kickoff set. Glad, glad, glad? Oui.
May I have some pedal steel guitar and two-part female harmonies with that? Oh, thank you!
I’m telling you, dear hearts, go checkem live. You have my backing. This Friday 9/26 at the Starry Plough, and 11/21 at Cafe du Nord (if you go to this one, say hi — I’ll be the guy with the smile).

We will dedicate a song to your smiling face at du Nord. (not you, just your face).
