Cool show last night, 2 sets, surprisingly small room but it wasn't mobbed at all so it was comfortable. The 1st set struck me as more sparse and quiet, Thurston mostly playing his guitar on his lap and using drumsticks in the strings while using his slide, Daniel's rich and sensuous horns complemented Ryan's frantic free style drumming, he starts riffing between the snare and cymbal and it is very crisp. A good hour between sets. 2nd set was much more aggro, but I could hear the musicians interplay and sensitivity to each others playing - it wasn't just 3 people making noise, in fact, it wasn't noise at all.
I think this was the 3rd public appearance of this trio?
