This past weekend started early for me with Tin Horses on Thursday night at Kung Fu Necktie. The fledgling four-piece performed a very enjoyable set made mostly of their debut album American Radiance with some newer material thrown into the mix. A definite highlight was the searing slide guitar work during “You Took Care of Me While I Was Dyin.” Kiel Everett’s lazy drawl on songs like “Amphetamine” helped to lull the audience into a hypnotic, stoned state while bobbing their heads to the instrumentation. I generally prefer to simply enjoy a few drinks and the music when I’m at a show, but I’ve been recently playing around with a new/used camera so you might see me roaming around snapping a few shots while I’m out and about. Levee Drivers laid down a surprisingly rollicking performance as a duo with frontman August Lutz on the acoustic guitar with a suped up harp that doubled as mic adding a welcomed megaphone effect to his vocals. He began the set with a couple of solo tunes before Kyle Perella who normally plays bass in the band joined him on stage and switched things around by picking up the electric guitar. Also opening the night was Bronze Float. You can check out my pics from the evening HERE.
