i do like a little twang. kevin cole. thursdays. swingin doors. so the old 97′s have been on my calendar since i noticed they were playing. i don’t think i’ve seen them live (see: drunken nights in ballard?)… but know some of their songs. actually, the deterrent to seeing them live, i think, was going to the tractor. love ballard, but that place is a little… cramped? their opening band (wax museum) was AMAZING. so much so, that i wish the people sitting at the bar had been a little quieter. hope you enjoy the photos… more after the jump.
so much energy
they’d just found out they won a contest to play in newport? must do some internet research…
gettin down to business
this song they sang about a carpenter bird was beautiful
bass player from SF
out came the old 97′s! rhett miller…
lead guitar- ken bethea
rhett and murray
for the band’s website, and don’t forget to ‘like’ the old 97′s on facebook
oh, you are lucky. i love the old 97′s… or maybe it’s that i love rhett miller and murry hammond. we try see them any time they’re in the state, but oklahoma’s not on their tour this time.
& i’ll have to check out their opening band… sounds like they were really good.
