The Undertow Orchestra in Boston | All 35 MP3s

"'All-Star Lineup' sounds a bit silly, but these guys deserve the description if anyone does: songwriters David Bazan (Pedro the Lion / Headphones), Vic Chesnutt, Mark Eitzel (American Music Club), and Will Johnson (Centro-matic), joined by Centro-matic's Scott Danbom on keys and violin. There wasn't an empty seat in the Remis Auditorium as the band was introduced, and they came out holding a long string of valentine hearts, wishing us all a happy v-day as they manned their instruments. For most of the set, it was Eitzel and Johnson on guitar, Bazan on drums, Chesnutt on bass, and Danbom on the keyboard, but whenever Bazan came out from behind the kit to sing and strum his own songs, Johnson always swapped with him. Being the seventh night of the tour, they had the switches down, and the whole evening went smoothly." [Bradley taped it and posted the MP3s]
