Californian indie rock band The Bye Bye Blackbirds recorded a live set for college radio station KALX in Berkeley, performing songs from their Boxer At Rest and August Lightning Complex albums. It is obvious that they have missed playing in the same room and they are ready to hit the stage to unleash these songs before a live audience.
They slowed down and speeded up a bit when the mood struck them, but as a whole they stayed close to the originals, with the elongated early '70s swagger of If It Gets Light as the sole exception. These nine-set song should convince any promotor that give them a shot. Recommended if you like The Decemberists.
