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
