Supergrass and I had a hot date tomorrow night at the Foo Fighters show at Red Rocks, but then Dave Grohl went and got sick.
To soothe our wounds until the make-up dates in September, Supergrass is going to play a Denver show anyway tonight at the teensy Larimer Lounge. Should be a rad evening; their new album packs a swaggering punch with a surprising hint of dare I say glam. Los Angeles band Year Long Disaster opens.

"I love the relationship that anyone has with music: because there's something in us that is beyond the reach of words, something that eludes and defies our best attempts to spit it out. It's the best part of us, probably, the richest and strangest part..."
—Nick Hornby, Songbook
"Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel."
—Hunter S. Thompson
Mp3s are for sampling purposes, kinda like when they give you the cheese cube at Costco, knowing that you'll often go home with having bought the whole 7 lb. spiced Brie log. They are left up for a limited time. If you LIKE the music, go and support these artists, buy their schwag, go to their concerts, purchase their CDs/records and tell all your friends. Rock on.

Sorry to hear they had to cancel the show. I was lucky enough to see them here in Seattle last week. I’ve listened to them forever but this was my first show and it ROCKED!! Dave is a great front man and had us laughing in between rocking out! It’ll be worth the wait when they come back in the fall. I continue to enjoy your writing ~ thanks for all the great music and info.

It was an amazing gig — they only did one set but they rocked the (tiny) house. There were maybe 60-70 ppl there, tops, but the small venue and format seemed to amplify their energy, if anything. Great encore with “Caught By The Fuzz” in their original 3-piece configuration with Gaz, Mick and Danny!
