We made the drive out to Ft Worth on Saturday night to see The Gourds play The Aardvark (and to have a great dinner with our friends). When we got to the club we found out the slated opening band wasn’t playing. Instead of Malt Country, the show would be opened by none other than Seattle’s freakiest bluesman, Baby Gramps, in his first ever Texas performance.
We all have our favorites – those bands that are just special to us for one reason or another. It’s probably no secret to regular readers that we here at SlackerCountry.com are partial to The Drams and, of course, Slobberbone. And, although jitter has seen them live many times, this past weekend was my first experience when they played a set at Boulder, Colorado’s Trilogy Wine Bar on Friday and a longer head-lining set at Bender’s Tavern in Denver on Monday.
