This past Thursday night we ventured out to see my favorite Denver area band, SoundRabbit, play at the Hi-Dive, which is right up the street from our house. We don’t often venture out for late night entertainment during the week, but this was an obvious exception as it would be their last local show for awhile. The band leaves tomorrow for a tour sweeping across this vast nation (dates are below). The show gave me the chance to hear many of the songs from their recent release, Tree Trunk Airplanes, for the first time live. The all sounded very polished and ready for tour. I could really tell that the band had been busy preparing for all of the shows they will be playing over the next couple of weeks. Here is my recording from the show, which turned out okay, despite the sound guy being completely unfamiliar with the bands material.

And here are the upcoming tour dates:

• Wed, Apr 22 – Des Moines, IA – Java Joe’s
• Thurs, Apr 23 – Madison, WI – Alchemy Cafe (still being confirmed)
• Thurs, Apr 23 – Columbus, OH – Scarlett & Grey Cafe
• Fri, Apr 24 – Edinboro, PA – Edinboro University
• Sat, Apr 25 – Canton, NY – St. Lawrence University
• Mon, Apr 27 – Burlington, VT – Nectar’s
• Tues, Apr 28 – Waltham, MA – The Skellig
• Wed, Apr 29 – Charlottesville, VA – Bel Rio
• Thurs, Apr 30 – Memphis, TN – Private Event
• Fri, May 1 – Yellow Springs, OH – Peach’s
• Sat, May 2 – Lake Lotawana, MO – Canoe Club

Please pass the news onto anyone you may know in any of these areas. And tell them that I sent you.
