Those Darlins - Emo's (outside), Austin TX - October 8, 2010


[Nashville, TN] these girls went and broke my heart – I had a hard enough time adapting to their new meaner attitudes the last time I saw them – but I accepted that they had to grow up and that it was the result of being surrounded by all sorts of temptation, AND their music still had some resemblance to what it used to sound like – at this show, they were a totally different band: in sound, attitude, and fun – they’ve taken their rowdy bad-girl honky tonk and turned it into hard cool Runaways rock – BORING – they didn’t look like they were having fun and I certainly wasn’t – there was no band-audience connection and their genuine spunk was gone – we assume some evil manager has convinced them they have to go electric in order to make it as a band – I couldn’t watch more than a few songs, it was that sad.
