Lou Barlow hearts White Denim
Dinosaur Jr. bassist Lou Barlow has been keeping a diary of the band’s tour with Built to Spill for Paste Magazine. In his most recent entry, he lists highlights of the tour, which include seeing White Denim at Mohawk after their show at Stubb’s last Saturday, an experience he dubs “ridiculously awesome”:
#3. White Denim in Austin. I’ve been dying to see this band since I first heard them. Never thought I would because I never go out (life as a 43-year-old father). They were playing directly across the street immediately following the Dinosaur Jr. set at Stubbs. I walked in and went to the front where they mesmerized me for a full hour. It was ridiculously awesome. Smiled and swayed, some kids danced middle school ’80s-style. W.D. are like Deerhoof, like ZZ-Top, like I could imagine Simon Cowell giving them props for their vocal styling. One of the best shows I have seen in my life. Great end to another trippy day in music city USA.
