Colorado’s female supergroup Harpoontang took to the Lion’s Lair stage last night with a truly entertaining performance.  Instead of attempting any review, I think it best that you listen for yourselves…

Here’s another excellent set from Achille Lauro.  Sorry for the complete lack of song titles, but I’m pretty sure a lot of this material is newer and not on their EP or full-length.
