Dawes Concert
Avondale Brewing Company
Birmingham, Alabama
The was Dawes' first live show since before the great panic. They seemed to be in top form to me. I am a casual fan at best, familiar with several of their songs from Pandora. I was very surprised by this show. The instrumentation across the board was excellent, creative, complex, varied, and appropriate. The lead singer's guitar work was stellar. The whole bad were high-energy performers, especially the lead. I was not expecting any of that based on the subdued recordings I've heard. The venue is great. If you have a chance to see a show at Avondale Brewing, go for it.
