my man david vandervelde is coming to new orleans to play at chickie wah wah on 10.14 along with local boys done good, caddywhompus and carter tanton of lower dens. i, sadly, have never seen vandervelde live, but i hear the guy puts on a helluva show usually pulling out some awesome covers like “cocksucker blues” – one of my favorite songs. his records, are equally as awesome, and cant recommend his 08 release, waiting for the sunrise, enough. pretty sure it was in my top ten from that year. also, his “nothin no” still stands as one of my favorite songs from the past ten years, pure fuzzed out pop bliss. if you are only gonna hit up one, two or three shows between now and the end of the year, definitely put this at the top of your list.
the power of love – possibly never heard/unreleased
