Damon and Naomi at Spaceland

Got to Spaceland just in time to see my friends Damon and Naomi open for A Hawk and a Handsaw... Great to see them, and amazing to hear them play a stripped-down set as a duo. Because they're promoting The Sub Pop Years CD, the set included a lot of great, older songs that they haven't played in a while... Gorgeous, patient, smart, and folk-informed pop that isn't the remnants of Galaxie 500 but a next step. More dates to come, so don't miss out.



Above, my favorite D&N song--with Helena, Bhob, and Kurihara!
