Operators : True (2014)

-          First single from Dan Boeckner’s (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs & Divine Fits) latest project.

-          I just attended their ‘5^th or 6^th’ concert and it came off like a big blend of LCD Sounsystem and Handsome Furs.

Review of Show

Jack White : I Think I Found The Culprit : Lazaretto (2014)

-       2nd solo album out June 9

-       Bringing more of the older, more aggressive style White Stripes' fans were used to.

-       Hi solo debut, 2012's Blunberbuss was a much slower, folkier album.

Nathaniel Rateliff : Three Fingers In: Falling Faster Than You Can Run (2013)

-       3^rd full length.

-       I got so hung up on Nathaniel’s other project, The Night Sweats, when this album was released I completely missed one of the best folk albums of 2013.

-       Surprise highlight of my recent SF trip.

Wooden Wand : Uneasy Peace : Farmer’s Corner (2014)

-       James Jackson Toth project's forthcoming album.

-       His last album, Blood Oaths of the New Blues, was a Best of the U & U 2013.
