Wilco
Blitzen Trapper
Troxy, 25 August 2009
Last month a friend-of-a-friend scoffed when I said I loved Wilco and their new album, told me Wilco hadn't been interesting in years. I guess I'm now in the minority thinking Wilco are still cool. Popularity = uncool to many sadly. Of course this guy hadn't seen them live in years and, in my humble opinion, the last time I saw them two years ago they were probably the best Wilco shows I'd ever seen. Whether or not you think they've "matured" or turned all "dad rock", every time I catch them live it convinces me once again they are still an incredible band and without a doubt one of the best live acts out there. And that's why I was especially excited to see them again, my seventh time no less. Plus they had a particularly cool support act lined up: Blitzen Trapper.
