///had been hearing great things about The Garage in Winston-Salem, NC and we now see why. literally a converted garage, it's nearing it's 10 year anniversary as a music venue. great high-ceiling warehouse type space. nice big stage. nice sound
system. class act staff. lots of old knick-knacks all over giving it a very rockabilly bar type of vibe. we were psyched to be there.show was a lot of fun. Where The Buffalo Roamed stampeded the place with songs of heartbreak and noise states, false prophets and desert landscapes. the Finn Riggins set that followed was a little typically atypical and capped with a rare but room appropriate Beyond City Lines... desert landscapes of our own... and dedicated to Alanna from Jews & Catholics who also grew up in southern Idaho.
three tours through North Carolina and now three shows with Jews and Catholics. and they grow on us more and more everytime. really unique in that it's a duo with electric
guitar + vox (eddie) and upright bass (alanna) with a well programmed drum machine. and they rock live. we met them through our infamous and handsomely stellar friend Milo Duke who grew up with Alanna in Idaho Falls, ID. this was our first show with them on their home turf, and despite it being a Tuesday it was super fun. and their set featured a bunch of inspiring new tunes, as well as a killer cover of Hank Williams' "Ramblin Man" which i looooovvvve. and their version was as haunting as it should be. and very venue appropriate. The Garage is one of the coolest venues we've played. and we've played a lot of 'em. very down to earth and spacious. very audience and musician friendly. highly recommended to all.
here's a video clip of Jews and Catholics playing their intrumental tune "Ambulance"
thank to our buddy Marty for the late night Waffle House slaying of grease food and the cozy place to crash... woke up under these trees in a beautiful Durham, NC neighborhood this morning...
