I’d honestly never heard of Bob Log III prior to this Larimer (sans) BBQ show, and was completely floored by the energy one man could muster out of an early Sunday-evening crowd.  While I still prefer the songwriting of other contemporaries such as Scott H. Biram or William Elliott Whitmore, Bob bests them all in stage antics, crowd interaction, and debauchery.

Gathering to celebrate DJ Peter Black’s birthday, the altered Tjutjuna lineup last week resulted in a very unique show.  Robert was unable to attend, so Adam Shaffner scrapped guitar, theremin, and electronics in favor of playing bass for the night.  Dylan Shumaker joined James Barone in the rhythm section behind a second drum kit, and Peter Black provided samples and textures.  With only two members on their regular instruments (Brian on guitar and James on drums), you’ll likely never hear another Tjutjuna set like this.
