Two Cow...

Last night, I went to go see Two Cow Garage, with Grainbelt and The Old Sweethearts at Valentine's in Albany. It was a good show all around. The Old Sweethearts, from Buffalo, NY were up first, and I remember not being too impressed when I heard their album a few months ago, but live they were pretty good. They've got a nice full sound with well used organ and harmony vocals. Up next was the debut show of Grainbelt, Albany's newest best band of all time. Featuring ex-Coal Palace King founder Howe Glassman, they put on a rockin show that made you wish they played longer. Too bad these "ass clowns" - hg have been too lazy to put together any merch, or I'd mention it here. Check em out in a town near you. They are supposed to be recording some tunes this summer, good times. Two Cow Garage was the headlining band, and even though they are from Columbus, Ohio, they have a pretty rabid fanbase in Albany. They play here pretty regularly, and this was the first time I was actually able to catch them. They put on an amazing show, with more energy then most any other band I've seen lately. If you are into roots-rock/Americana/garage/whatever, you should definetly check them out. RIYL The Drive By Truckers, Slobberbone, Husker Du, Neil Young, The Replacements, etc. You must go see them live if you get a chance.
There really is nothing in this world as good as some live rock n roll is there?
