On the final stop on the the second leg of their Tour de Fromage reunion tour, Primus brought their high energy quirky rock to the nations capital. With political rants expressed in between songs while playing the entire Sailing The Seas of Cheese, album, Les Claypool used the first amendment to his advantage at Constitution Hall.

Transit 0/31/2004: Monkey House – Winooski, VT

Transit’s sound is a crunchy testament to a time of simplicity, attaining the essence of improvisational originality, while capturing the moment’s true conscience – both the sunny and dark. It is this electric telepathy between the trio on stage that enables Transit to deliver this gritty passage of raw emotion that reflects in their cozy, coffeehouse stage settings.

moe. : Norva, Norfolk, VA 1.29.04

Brian Gearing February 9, 2004 No Comments

While moe. have retained their ability to spaz-out over reggae-tinged rock and roll riffs, they have also finally learned to chill out. Their live show used to drive steadily over a long, flat highway of Ritalin-child guitar solos and bland exploration over unchanging bass lines, but the boys from Buffalo seem to have finally learned the subtle distinction between jamming and improvising.

Eddie From Ohio 0/28/2004: Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, CA

Philip Mccluskey February 2, 2004 No Comments

A war-worn Bosnian girl and a cowboy who throws like a girl. No, that’s not the beginning of a joke or the character set in a new misfit comedy, but an indicator of the brilliant variety of songs brought by a folk foursome-enigmatically from Virginia-called Eddie from Ohio.
