sm & jycks

It's been a busy week, good thing my next class doesn't start up until the 18th! Last night steph and I ventured south to the Gothic for a healthy dose of Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks. First up was Blitzen Trapper who were pretty cool in an 'indie rock version of CSNY' kind of way, very retro classical rock vibe, akin to Fleet Foxes but peppier. At the end of their set, SM and Janet Weiss joined them onstage for a Steve Miller Band cover.



The Jicks were awesome and Stephen was in a dapper mood which always helps. Janet Weiss (formerly of Sleater Kinney) was a nice addition on drums. The set focused mostly on material from the newest album, which is some of his best recent work, so that was great.





For the encore we were graced by the Blitzen gang again and everyone participated on some jammed out versions of Marvin Gaye's 'I Heard it through the Grapevine' and 'Funk 49' by the James Gang - wicked!
