This has to be one of the shortest PopFest sets ever.  With the actual music clocking it at 11 minutes, Andy From Denver barely had time to warm up before getting shuffled off the stage.  Still, it was a nice tease.

I’m getting ready to hit the road for a month or so, and decided to post a few more PopFest sets before I head out…  Dark Meat took the stage on Thursday evening, working the crowd into anticipation of the night’s final act, Roky Erickson.  Paying homage with their psyhedelic hero, the band concluded the set with a cover of Roky’s “Be and Bring Me Home”.

Here’s one of several sets I captured at this year’s Westword Music Showcase–John Common over at Dazzle.  All the venues were pretty crowded (a good thing), and Dazzle was no exception.  Instead of hassling with a lot of gear, I clipped a pair of mics to a drink glass on the table and let ‘em roll.  The results weren’t bad, all things considered.
