“Then the sky busted open / like the book of revelations / smell of bulleit rye & brimstone filled the august air / I never meant for this to happen / complete & utter devastation / a flame that burns this bright babe / is a flame that don’t burn long… A single spark / on the summer plains / ignites the dark / to a field of dancing flames / we gave in to the simplest of desire / and watched that spark turn to wildfire… So here I am standing / on the site of something tragic / cooled ash & scorched earth is all that we’ve left to show / and if there’s one thing I’ve learned / there’s a part of death that’s magic / destroying something to make way for something else to grow…” • Hard to think of a more fun, harder working, better playing live band than @americanaquarium right now. Live, original independent, rock & roll, all the way from North Carolina; cutting through Colorado once or twice a year since I first saw them back in 2015. Rocking through 24+ song sets nightly, mixin’ up those setlists (“betting man” into “harmless sparks”?? oooof!!) and clearly leaving it all out there every time I’ve seen them. There’s a reason they are where they are. • Feeling pretty lucky to see them here at Globe Hall, drink a couple tecates, and chase a little magical time & space with hard work, sweet nostalgia, & some sad songs! The most reliable high I’ve found. • #theharderyouworktheluckieryouget #chicamacomico (at Globe Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chb0-0DupUm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
