Always good to get your take on things, stoger. Thanks for checking in.
Wonder if Erika Wennerstrom will be at the Austin show…Thanks for the write-up. I’m in Boston but I will be headed to New Orleans next week and have a ticket to see her at the House of Blues Mon. night – can’t wait!
The Eric you mention on guitar also played a bit with David Bowie and Tin Machine so yeah – he’s no slouch.Wow, Stoger–no kidding–Sharp Cutting Wings ( Song to a Poet), Side of the Road, and SAWHWWT along with a mix other old and new! Amazing setlist, really. And LWs mixing the arrangements up with the band seems really off-the-hook, too. Sounds like a terrific show and it looks like a road trip might certainly be in order for this New England based critic… Thanks, much, for the informative review and I look forward to your thoughts on Austin. It’s nice that the home town girl sold-out La Zona Rosa and the vibe should be nothing short of outstanding. I am sure that there will be a special guest or three as well. Glad Conor O has adopted SCWs as a live number. Love to get my hands on a recording of that. Safe travels. David
Nice setlist… I’ll take those first ten songs to open a show anytime! I am officially excited about this tour.
Thanks for the report and the setlist (heck of a nice one). When I heard about Doug I was a bit down, but sure looks like it might have led to a nice little revamp of the band’s approach.
Looking forward to that Keswick-Wellmont double shot in two weeks.
Did Buick 6 do any of our suggestions in their set? What did I win?
A review of the Dallas show says her hair was “jet black”. True? ❓
Well, I prefer the more ambiguous “brunette,” but yes, I’d say “black” if not “jet.” She listed three new things at one point between songs: new guitarist, new hair color, and new suit (Chet, in fine threads). Love to see a link to that Dallas review, Tony: the weekly paper had a nice preview/interview piece, and The Austin Chronicle (by Margaret ________ forgot her name, but she’s an old pal of Lu’s) has a two-page formal interview.
Lefty, is the frontwoman of the Heartless Bastards in Austin, likely to attend? Randy Weeks got a sidebar in the Chronicle piece and will no doubt be there, first song again with him in mind maybe.
David, is La Zona Rosa sold out? Last I heard, that one was lagging a bit in sales. Must try to get there early then. . .
Quasi review, along with some very, very dark pics:

Thanks for the review / setlist, stoger – sounds like a good show. I’m looking forward to B’ham & Atlanta.

Pure conjecture on my part, stoger. Erika moved to Austin several months ago, and the HBs have a brief break from touring right now. Would be nice to hear that Erika was in attendance. As the Bobster would put it, “If you see her, say hello.”
