Prepping for Iron & WIne/Calexico

I'm heading up to Montreal next week with my trusty concert compadre, Flatlander, to see Iron & Wine and Calexico. When I heard about the show I jumped at the opportunity, not because I'm eluding the inlaws that will be arriving that evening, but because the idea of three sets of music from these groups sounds absolutely blissful. Their combined EP from earlier this year, In the Reins, perfectly matches the strengths of each group results in a sound that allows grandeur and intimatcy to coexist.

In preparation for the show, I'll be listening to NPR's webcast of tonight's show from Washington, DC's 9:30 Club. It takes place at 10 pm EST. For those that miss it, NPR will most likely stream it for many months.

Thanks to What the f*ck is the internet? for making me aware of the webcast.

    The webcast is sounding really nice. It's going to be a fun show. Hopefully, the crowd next week will be as quiet as the crowd at the Sufjan Stevens show this summer.

    You too are making me soooooo jealous going to that show. I still can't believe the tour isn't coming to Florida...where Beam is from!

    Oh well, don't let Flatlander forget to pick up the tour ep for me! :p

    I really dig that album. I really dig Calexico alone, though, and I think that they give Sam Beam a much needed oomph. I fell asleep watching an M&M commercial recently and I think it's his fault. Don't get me wrong. I love me some Iron & Wine, but this is a little more.... I even like the first track, although the first time I heard it I thought they were dueting with that blind opera singer and half expected Sting to jump in on a mandolin. Indie Cred!
