Tipped off by my pals in Tjutjuna and Woodsman, I made it down to see Young Prisms at the Hi-Dive last month.  This particular show was an opening slot at a sold-out show for Denver favorites Snake Rattle Rattle Snake.  If you like what you hear, definitely check out Friends for Now (on Kanine Records) or their Self-titled EP (on Mexican Summer).

I was fortunate enough to make it out to California for Casiotone for the Painfully Alone’s farewell weekend, and was treated to three nights of The Donkeys as a perfect bonus!  In addition to backing Owen, The Donkeys opened each night with their own set.  Here’s the first of the three nights–keep your eye out over the next few days for the other two.
