| School's out, what did you expect? |
I wasn't going to go to any shows Monday night. Sure, Austin up-and-comers
YellowFever were playing. And recent Des Noise live favorite
Coyote Slingshot. And young locals
the Seed of Something. Plus, there was a late show featuring recent Pitchfork "
Rising" honorees
Candy Claws, whose glo-fi primer "Catamaran" I
positively reviewed, like, nine months ago. But Mrs. Des Noise and I had just made the six-hour drive back from Chicago after what felt like the biggest Pitchfork Music Festival yet, only a couple of weeks after spending Fourth of July Weekend on our feet for the
80/35 Music Festival here in Des Moines. Yeah, I wanted to see those bands. But not Monday night. Not like
Japandroids a year ago. We just wanted to go home and crash. Does that mean I'm getting too old for this?
