XX Merge Day 2

Well, we made a bad decision on night #2. We were both exhausted and decided to hit the road back to Greensboro shortly after midnight. We missed one band and that, as we found out this morning, was Superchunk. We were both pretty bummed but Clay's seen them countless times and I've seen them twice in the past year alone. Oh well...

The bands we did see were The Broken West, Richard Buckner, Guv'ner, and the 3Ds. Buckner was the highlight. He's got one of my favorite voices of all time and this was my first time seeing him live. There were no breaks between songs as he bleed one into the next. In fact, I don't think he said one word. It didn't matter. It was transcendental...



Here's a picture that I snapped of Buckner last night...

  1. Yeah, I have seen Buckner a couple of times and you are right that it is one continuous experience. He seems rather introspective up there.
