Well, I'm sold. These guys fucking kick ass.

Also, it's funny how much "fucking" "kick" and "ass" have been used in this thread.

Anyway, as I do every time I fall head over heels in love with a band, I'm now coming up with irrational plans to see them as soon as possible. They're rolling into town as an opener in May, but 1) I can't wait that long 2) don't wanna pay $45 to see them open for Cage the Elephant and Foals. So, naturally my next instinct is to haul my ass to Albany this weekend and see a full show for $10.

I think I just convinced myself.

You most certainly should if you have the opportunity. I caught them 2x once for $8 as a headliner and once as the sole opener for Lucero (so they had ~45 minute set). If you get any chance to see them headline a show take it!

I am with you tho I just missed them billed as 2nd openers at a local show where the headliner was Grouplove (had no interest) tix were btw 30-40 bones. After seeing them headline for so cheap it did not make much sense to catch this show but its hard to pass them up when they come through no matter what iteration the show is.

I downloaded their Noisetrade sampler last week, and I gotta say I'm starting to get hooked.

Yeah I pretty much can't stop listening to these guys. Does anyone know if their show at Headliners is a one-off, or are there some other "headlining" dates in March before their jaunt with Cage the Elephant and Foals? I can't find any info on their site or Facebook page or anything.

It was awesome! Lots of energy, as expected. Wish I could find a proper setlist. The opening band was great too. Nice little venue. Very excited to have Deer Tick coming there in March.

finally, J Roddy will elude me no more.  Playing a free radio show here in Jax next Friday.  Heading out to the venue to grab my tix tonight. After 3 years of loving these guys, I'll finally get to see them in the flesh.  Just hope the free thing, doesnt attract a bunch of douchery...

Glad you finally get to see them he.who.  I feel spoiled living on their home turf.

And, BH, what a great video.
Make sure your listen to the end when J Roddy finally kicks in.

I saw them on Wednesday.  Unbelievable performance.  Enjoy!
The trouble with the straight and the narrow is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side

I was just gearing up to convince the wife I'd drive 4 hours to St. Louis on a Thursday night (the night before Jason Isbell locally) to catch JRW&TB, but I wisely checked the calendar and my oldest daughter has an Iowa City Girls Choir performance.  Dammit!  Its also the night The Head and The Heart are in town.  I love my kids and they always come first (mostly) but I can still be bummed... right?

Hey, GO4IT!
I'm going to see them at Headliners in Louisville, on March 20th, mainly on your recommendation from when we met at Jim's solo show at the Brown Theatre last April. I am waiting to buy their albums until the show. I'll probably get the albums on vinyl if they bring them. If not, I'll buy the CD's. In the meantime, I've been checking out their stuff on their Interweb site and on YouTube. While on YouTube, I found this video from the Artie Lange Show - pretty good little interview.
Thanks again!

Glad to hear you're going to be able to see them soon, Mr. White!

I just checked their tour schedule and was surprised to see that they are doing a "Lagunitas Couch Trippin' to Austin" show in DC this Tues and it's free!  Looks like it's sold out and I'll be on my way to Mammoth that day anyway.  Add me to the "bummed list" along with jYac.

And if you want to check out some more videos I took one at the 9:30 club a few months back and there are a few from a show at the Strand Theater in York, PA that we traveled up to with a few of the Forum Faithful (you'll see them on the rail in at least one of the vids) last June before they released their latest album.

Sweet!
I'm liking the expanded definition of "folk" at the NFF in recent years.

Sweeeeeeet video! I knew I could count on you for a prompt post-show post! I was looking up shots from this show all night on Instagram, looks like they killed it!

Sadly, still waiting for my J Roddy cherry to be popped. Prepared to pay $40 for what will likely be a half-hour set at most. But considering how desperate I am to see them, and how hard these guys rock, that seems like a bargain.

I was on the fence about going to this triple-header show with CTE and Foals, mainly because tickets were $45, and J Roddy will probably only have a half-hour set. But I guess tickets for the show in my area weren't exactly sellin' too well, so scalpers on StubHub dropped their offerings well below face value! Which means of COURSE I snapped 'em up! Woooo! Only about six more weeks until I finally see these guys!
