do NOT miss this band. They kicked off their tour last night in Louisville and had the local group Ut Gret open up for them in a fantastic and intimate venue. The band just slayed with precision, beautiful interplay, fantastical drumming, and a dose of good humor. They have just released their 18th album, making them one of the most long-established bands in the genre (don't make me label them into a subgenre!).
