Yeasayer, Sasquatch Monday 5/26/08

The lads from Yeasayer were a cleaner cut group than I remembered. They sounded beautiful as they got our day started with a short set of five songs that included my three favorites off the album. Speaking of, if you don't have the album you should buy it immediately and listen to the first three tracks on repeat.

I am holding on to the memory of them singing an extended version of Sunrise. Beautiful!

Yeasayer returning to Denver

Yeasayer set an April 20th date at the Bluebird supporting Man Man. This is great news for us high plains-dwelling music fans who found ourselves snowed in and unable to make their performance earlier this month. Snowed blocked our Black Lips plans this weekend too. Laramie is a cruel home sometimes.

Yeasayer/ MGMT at the Hi-Dive

The Laramigos were snowed in! That sound you hear = us weeping.
Julio offers a great photo essay - I'm envious of the chance to see these two bands, and increasingly enthusiastic about what I hear from them. Maybe they'll swing back through in summer?

Yeasayer & MGMT coming in February

I keep hearing these two bands pop up, and I like what I hear! Yeasayer is catchy and delightful. Just last week an email came in my box from a friend saying, "are you listening to this MGMT song?" Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing them at the Hi-Dive February 4th.

Yeasayer's Wait for Summer on kexp. Perfect on a short cold day like this!
