This Monday, October 18th, Kenny’s Castaways in New York City will host a unique event in which fans will have the opportunity to jam out with Mike Gordon. Kenny’s will
You may have read a recent Washington Post article examining how some of the Indie rockers are growing more comfortable coming out of the jamband-fan-closet. One area which I’d like to see more crossover in is to have more bands implement open taping policies. That’s why I was ecstatic to pull up recordings on my weekly Live Music Archive search from bands like Blitzen Trapper and The National. Good for them, now whatever happened to the policy that MGMT promised months back only to have the idiots at Sony make them retract it? Note: Hidden Track previously contacted Sony for a comment, was promised one, and then received nothing. Oh but Hidden Track readers and LWS Podcast faithfuls, don’t worry – we still remember that Phish tour started last week too.
A reminder – you can download all of this week’s audio in one easy to listen to MP3 that we call the Last Week’s Sauce Podcast, click here to download.

Biltzen Trapper – Destroyer Of The Void
Date & Venue: 2010-10-06 WorkPlay Theater – Birmingham, AL
Taper & Show Download: Jeff Hatcher
The P4K album review of Destroyer Of The Void describes the title track as such – “ambitiously steamrolls over decades of canonical popular music, squishing it into an epic suite that gathers Beatles harmonies, sci-fi synths, classic rock guitars, country-rock twang, and AOR sentimentality into one big, ballsy package.” Pretty serious stuff, and they are right – it’s an amazing piece. It’s nice to hear the band has a good live arrangement of it as well. Blitzen Trapper [tour dates] plays tonight at the Dallas House of Blues.

All About Beer Magazine’s annual World Beer Festival in Durham has a special feel to it that separates it from other North Carolina beer events. For starters, All About Beer is based in Durham, and the weather tends to be gorgeous this time of year, making for a fine hometown party. The whole glorious occasion is backed by solid live music as well.
Children of the Horn offered funky stuff just as people were getting in the mood to dance, and Big Daddy Love welcomed attendees with a mix of rock, bluegrass and covers. But the biggest factor is the rush of fall beers that are ready just in time for the festival – recently brewed Oktoberfests, imperial stouts, and pumpkin beers add a new level of excitement to the proceedings.
I made sure to take advantage of the seasonal beer selections at the start of the day, having been shut out on a few limited brews last year. I still nearly missed out on one of North Carolina’s most desirable beers, Sexual Chocolate Stout by Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem, NC). I scored a sample right before the remaining supply was whisked away to be saved for the afternoon session of the festival.
