last year sometime, american aquarium and their record, small town hymns, somehow and mysteriously came into my field of vision. i thought they were a “new” band but dammit if i hadnt been missing out since like 05, which is when i think they formed. shit, i think i even missed em when they stormed through new orleans last year. either way, said record ended up at #3 on best of 2010 list and really up until about a month or so ago, thats all of theirs i had listened to. well, all that has changed cause i have dug into their catalogue and its all full of awesome.
i cannot recommend digging into their catalogue enough. buy something via amazon

Old Town Tavern WAS in Sheffield. Sadly, it’s not there anymore. Best place for live music in this area. I was probably at this show.
