NLG attended Monsters of Folk

Last week, NLG attended the Monsters of Folk concert in Vancouver, the kickoff show to their 2009 world tour. The 'monsters' were very good--good in the way that you would expect a group of such accomplished musicians to be. Accomplished musicians being: Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes, M Ward of M Ward, and Mike Mogis who played an electric mandolin/slide xylophone.

NLG had three main observations from the show:
1. Jim James is a workhorse
2. Conor Oberst has good balance
3. There was enough flannel there to clothe Paul Bunyan's family (if he could have one--not sure if he can procreate)

Monsters of Folk - Say Please

Welcome to No Look Guns

Welcome to No Look Guns. We're a couple of kids from Victoria who bonded on a strange but epic surfing adventure to the Oregon Coast. There we met Jimmy, a man who would change our lives forever. But neither the trip nor Jimmy (with the exception of Who Let the Dogs out) has anything to do with music. Which is what this blog is all about. We want to share tunes with you to get free stuff and collect money from hits on our ad. I mean, share our passion for music with you. We'll post up some reviews of shows we've been to, some tracks that we think are nice, and possibly some interviews with our favourite artists if they allow us to be near them. Stay tuned...
