Varnaline were pretty great here on Friday night, but Sparklehorse were simply spectacular - I love bands that fuck around with noises, which explains why I think Pavement is one of the best, if not the best, bands of the 1990s. And it's why Sparklehorse, if they had another couple albums out this decade, would be in the same boat as Pavement for me. Varnaline played a really good and enjoyable set, it just wasn't as interesting. And I love interesting shit. As an added bonus, we got Wooden Leg opening the set for 45 minutes too. I wish this band would tour more so you all could see just how damn good they're getting. A real treat to be able to see them pretty much whenever we want to. Certainly one of the best shows of the year around these parts........ -
