something for saturdays

I'm a sucker for live music and the cello so here is one from a band I just found out about from Portland, The Builders and The Butchers. They been around for a long time but don't think they've made it across the pond yet.



There was an article in the Metro about Rosie Hardy and Aaron Nace Friday that I read on the way to work. Check the link for a long distance internet romance mixed with some amazing edits.

Lisa Hannigan @ Shepard's Bush London

Lisa Hannigan and her band instantly reminded me of 10,000 Maniacs as they opened up Wednesday night in London for what I think was one of her first big shows in the city. Her voice is an amazing mix of Natalie Merchant at her best and Nina Simone. The show was very mellow with a seated crowd but culminated in the best version of "Free Until They Cut Me Down" by Iron in Wine I've ever heard. It had a much more haunting feel the the video below but I thought it was worth a look.
