White Denim - Waterloo Records, Austin TX - May 20, 2011


[from Austin, TX] so this band was recommended to me yearrrs ago and I’d never managed to see them until this day – I believe they’ve won local awards and I believe they were described to me as soul rock – the latter is just not accurate – they’re proggy proggy prog rock with maybe a little Grateful Dead jam band thrown in – I’ll admit there were a few songs that lightened up on the guitar work and could maybe be described as soul rock but overall they’re pretty intense for the average listener – the boys are very skilled on their guitars and the singer has a great voice but unless you’re of the Rush persuasion, you’re going to find them hard to digest for easy listening – I kind of think that this set may have focused on their newer material which may be a departure from their older material (Photo courtesy of https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2016-02-05/playback-white-denim-stiffens/)
