Jimmy and The Album Leaf had a nice thing going over two shows at the Casbah and the Knitting Factory. They were very tight and the crowd was very appreciative both nights.
Travelling as a four piece they came out for a 3 or 4 song encore both nights. All of the songs were synched up to videos and tape loops. There was some very sweet violin with delay, a couple of guitars, about 10 keyboards and a minimal spattering of vocals. The San Diego show was sold out and the crowd was calling out requests as people stayed out late to hear it all. The multiple keyboard work combined with the tape loop/heavy drum thing is one of the nicer staples of San Diego music now.
The synth sweeps triggered by 3 or 4 keyboards at once are lush and sweet with leads on the piano/rhodes/microkorg/alesis/moog and viol in. These are the sounds tv pays for. Check out the newest at Sub Pop. It's great to see these excellent musicians playing live. You should check it out.
Rounding out the night was Maquiladora in support of their new record on Darla Records A House All On Fire and Adam Gnade.
