Thanks to wonderful grandparent babysitters, Coco and I got out a bit to catch two great shows. The most recent being The Shins. They played at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium where you'll typically catch the NC Symphony or the Ballet. Needless to say it sounded great. They pretty much stuck to their original numbers, but when they came back for their encore, they nailed it with a cover of Pink Floyd's "Breathe":
The week before we caught Blitzen Trapper (out of Portland) at the Local 506 in Chapel Hill. It was great to see a band of 6 rocking out on a Monday night. I had a hard time choosing a song from their latest album, "Wild Mountain Nation".
The Pink Floyd cover was the highlight of the Phoenix show too!
