don't go outside

go see them at the paradise tonight w/ dum dum girls. you will not regret it.

two bands that put out some of the best music of last year on the same bill… too good to be true. if you’re still sleeping on widowspeak, here is a good place to start.

this is widowspeak playing “gun shy” @ KEXP’s CMJ showcase last month. they are really one of the best bands going right now, check out their s/t LP on captured tracks if you still haven’t!

widowspeak - “wicked game” (chris isaak)

when i saw them in january, i was absolutely captivated by their take on this song. and honestly, i can’t think of a band better suited to cover chris isaak than them. their debut LP on captured tracks is on the way, i hope everyone else in the world is as stoked as i am.
