Cloud Cult Larimer Lounge 5/18/08
Craig Minowa and company provide one of the best live shows around. Their show Saturday was just as beautiful as the one a year ago at the Larimer Lounge that made me fall in love with them.

Live Preview: The Blakes
Another dose of the Northwest here in the great Rocky Mountain empire this week arrives via The Blakes. I don't hear much about them out here but trust me, John in the Morning loves them and so should you.
Playing at the Larimer Lounge Thursday... see them while they're fresh and cheap.

Cloud Cult @ Larimer Lounge 5-10-07
This concert review not quite a month late, oops.
I went into the Cloud Cult show not knowing what to expect and only somewhat familiar with the band's sound. The opening band did not bode well, a terrible mishmash of styles and no real presence.
That all went by the wayside when Cloud Cult took the stage with (I think) 7 band members, two of whom started painting on large canvasses during the music. A full sound and tight band, the strings sounded fantastic as did Craig Minowa's voice. I loved that CC made the Larimer Lounge seem big... I've never seen a band own that stage so well, what with the paintings and the smoke and the lasers and tons of instrumentation.
The crowd knew most of the songs but also consumed rather too much Miller High Life before the show, so their enthusiasm turned into asshole-ishness at times.
The band closed with my fave and everyone else's, Take Your Medicine [thx to mokb]. A fantastic performance, worth catching during Monolith for sure.
My photo of one of the stage paintings, this one by Scott West, it was auctioned off to benefit the earth or similar, did not come home with me:

Live Preview: The Faint, Land of Talk, Rosebuds
The early part of this week offers a couple interesting shows. Day job responsibilities will likely keep me in Laramie, but tell me about the shows if you go.
June 4th & 5th: The Faint @ the Fox Theatre, Boulder
I've never seen them but people keep telling me I would love their live show. Curious -- maybe it's a Nebraskan thing?
June 5th: The Rosebuds with Land of Talk and Everything Absent or Distorted @ the Larimer Lounge, Denver
This promises to be a good show... I like the Rosebuds' brand of dark dance music, and Everything Absent should draw a good local crowd. PFork offered some inscrutible details about Land of Talk tour drama, so keep an eye out for shenanigans and cross yer fingers that they found a new drummer.
