Enjoyed my first show in two years with The Lathams who delivered a great set of tunes. I was eager to see them live as this could be their one shot of a US tour, but who knows in the age of streaming, social media and having the right management, bookers, etc. they could easily land as an opener or on future festivals. just odd they don't appear to have a US label behind them and all the physical releases for them are appear to be imports...
Red Rum Club must have at one point been their opener on all the dates, because as even as of yesterday Songbyrd had them still listed as the opener. But they dropped off a couple dates to head to SXSW early. So at the last minute Songbyrd added one of the club's staff as the opener, who did a solo 30 minute set I'll just call "interesting" and leave it that.
First time at Songbyrd show, the new location is very easy to get to for me by car and it's a nice space to see a show. Not sure I would want to attend a sold out show there, as the masks wearing definitely decreased as the evening when on..
