Gobble Gobble – 8.07.2010 @ Woodsman’s Lodge

Edmonton DIY kings Gobble Gobble are currently in the midst of their Mobile Rave Infinitour, which would put the schedules of any other artist to shame.  They stopped in Colorado for a few days this month, including a house party with Woodsman.   These guys really know how to put on a party…even the most humble house show was approached with costumes, puppets, and a large conglomeration of toys/noisemakers.   If you live in North America, chance are Gobble Gobble will be visiting a city near you before Thanksgiving.  If you can’t make it to see them in person, check out the band’s releases available on Royal Rhino Flying Records.

The Acorn – 10.28.2008 @ Hi-Dive

As promised, here’s the last set from Tuesday night, featuring another Canadian band, The Acorn. Lisa has a great review of the night posted at Reverb, and she’s right on target by pointing out that syncopation sets this band apart from the rest of the pack.  While the songs are undeniably folk-rock, complex drum/bass rhythms and a judicious use of harmonics result in a sound that stretches toward acts like Battles or Dirty Projectors.  This makes for a very interesting listen.

Ohbijou – 10.28.2008 @ Hi-Dive

When I headed down to see The Shaky Hands this week, I was pleasantly surprised by the opener, Toronto’s Ohbijou.  Their U.S. tour, in support of a recent split 12″ release with The Acorn, concludes tonight in Chicago, and then they’ll be back to Ontario for a string of dates in November.  This is an excellent set–many of the songs in this set haven’t yet seen an official release, and the laid-back atmosphere in the Hi-Dive stimulated plenty of band-crowd interaction, stories, and jokes.
