Thread: The Head and The Heart

For my tastes, I'm pretty sure their entire album is the most pleasant thing I've ever listened to.

I was recently turned on to them as well, can't wait to see them at the Newport Folk Festival this summer!

Saw them open for Florence + The Machine and like them better live than Florence.

Favourites are Down in the Valley and Rivers and Roads.

Used to play down at my brother-in-law's bar. Good stuff. Now we just need to get them back there.

What bar is that? PM me if you don't want to share publicly. Looking for good spots for live music besides The Tractor Tavern and The Crocodile.

That's KEXP's soundstage.

You've probably heard of these but Neumos and the bar attached are good for smaller live bands though bigger than the Tractor. Showbox SODO also has a nice bar. The Vera Project is even smaller than the Tractor. Chop Suey and Studio Seven also have shows but you won't find them hosting the likes of The Head and the Heart.

Cheers dude. Just getting into the music scene out here after being in college in NY for the past 4 years so all suggestions are appreciated.

Neumos looks excellent. A quick google search didn't yield any useful info on KEXP's soundstage.

By brother-in-law owns Conor Bryne's near Tractor. PM me if you are popping in and I will join you.

Neumos scores some amazing shows despite its size. Belgian nailed a bunch of them. Frankly, just grab a Stranger and poke around. You will easily find everything you need there.

You'll want to find a willing stranger before you start poking around.

Yeah, but I don't know any strangers.

But seriously, cheers commonlaw. I'll shoot you a PM and let you know when I plan to stop by. Be cool to put a face to a name.

Not necessary. No one has to know you picked one up. You can do whatever you want with them and then toss them in the landfill. I do it nearly once a week.

And auvgeek, for sure man. Hell, if my twilight golf game doesnt materialize, I may pop in tonight.
