Sitting directly on the sweet spot between wildly experimental and catchy-as-hell, the music of Finn Riggins can often be spoken about using contradictory terms. Stylistically varied yet cohesive. Sophisticated yet unpretentious. Weird yet poppy. We prefer to look past the contradictions by simply calling it really, really great music. The Boise trio (Cameron Bouiss-drums and vocals-Lisa Simpson, guitar and vocals, and Eric Gilbert-keys and vocals) brings this great music to Club 404 this Saturday at 9pm as part of the Underground Music Showcase.
Wake is the leadoff song from Finn Riggins’ new album, Vs. Wilderness.
In advance of Saturday’s show, John Fate ( Jim McTurnan and the Kids the Killed the Man, Hindershot, and For Pop Sake) asked Finn Riggins a few questions about the band’s early years, their non-stop touring schedule, and playing on the road with that other band from Boise – Built to Spill.
Vitamins have been getting quite a bit of notice in the blog world lately for their score of Jean Painleve’s “Liquid Crystals” (with compositional help from Danny Shyman of Josephine and the Mousepeople.) Check out some of the links below!
Or, the Whale is steadily chipping away at the dream of playing music for a living. Since the San Francisco alt-country band formed in 2006, they’ve signed to Seany Records, toured the West on a consistent basis (this will be their 5th show in Denver in 3 years,) played SXSW, Daytrotter, and Paste Magazine in-studio, seen their single “Datura” get added to more and more radio station playlists, and recently inked a deal with new booking agencies in the US as well as the UK. In advance of the Colorado portion of Or, the Whale’s current tour (4 CO shows in 4 days!) Luke Mossman (Achille Lauro, Hello Kavita) asked singer Lindsay Garfield a few questions about the San Francisco scene, constant touring, and the strain that can put on relationships back home.
