If you’ve seen Candy Claws this summer, you may not even recognize this recording as originating the same band.   (That’s certainly an exaggerated statement, but it’s amazing how much their live performances have evolved in the last nine months!)

This was the first time I had a chance to see Old Radio, and it was definitely worth getting out and facing the cold weather!

Following yesterday’s post of the 9/1/2010 Birds and Batteries show, here’s another they played two years ago in Denver.  Listening to both 2008 and 2010 yields some insight into this band’s evolution over the past two years.
