The Poojer Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 WOW!!! I've seen them a couple times and they are one of the reaaly good bands....and in front of an SRO crowd of 600 people its that much better
boyst Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 I thought this was going to be a beer thread. I found the Spring mix Magic Hat at Food lion - choice are sparse here. I had been thinking, damn it'd be nice to enjoy a few beers and then go run some errands. D'oh.
Buftex Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 They played at our store last week...really great.
The Poojer Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 aren't they a really nice group of guys, they seem so appreciative of the fans that come out to record stores and noon shows...and honestly, just some of the best music around;....i guess they are opening for dylan her in philly in april...i think i would actually prefer to see Dawes as the headliner, not to take anything from Dylan, just how strong I think Dawes is as a band They played at our store last week...really great.

He told us a pretty funny story about meeting Kris Kristoferson...his "hero". I guess Dawes was set to back-up Kristoferson for some tribute thing they were doing on radio (satallite I think). Goldsmith was saying that Kristoferson is one of his real, legit, all-time idols, maybe his favorite song-writer of all time. So, a little before the show is set to record, he goes over and introduces himself to KK, lets him know that he is a really big fan of his music, and knows the stuff very well..so, if KK needs any help on vocals (KK is very ill and can't really sing for whole show any more), he would be very happy to help out...KK looks at him and says "your fly is down". It was. Then he says "I would want someone to tell me if my fly was down". btw- asked him about another Middle Brother CD...he said the last one was a blast to record, but dealing with three different record lables was a drag...which I took to mean it won't happen soon.

The Poojer Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 great story about kris k. too bad about middle brother..that whole triumverate(sp?) of bands are a favorite of mine...they played today and a couple songs were a bit too country for my liking, but most were very jackson-brown-ish...they killed it with '...los angeles' and '...my day comes' they are darlings of xpn and really showed their appreciation..kind of hoped they would have played on, but the only bands that have done that in my 3 years going there have been the Dead Milkmen and Dr. Dog...was hoping Dawes would have added to the list, but very happy with the performance they provided.

WotAGuy Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Just picked up tix for their show at 930 Club in DC in June. Passed on a chance to see them open for Dylan closer to home in Ithaca and Buffalo. Great set during SXSW last week.
