I enjoyed it especially the last song in the main set/encore. Thought they could have stretched other songs out the way they did with those last two. One of a few bands that would benefit from a longer set. Holy Wave were cool too.

Holy shit, Goat is playing in Newport Kentucky tonight. That's more than 500 miles away in less than 24 hours. They must have sprinted to the bus after the show ended last night.

And then they have to travel 1,100 miles in less than 2 days to get to Austin.

yeah that show was great.

couldn't help but think how great they would have been at usmh instead, with a little more space and a less-cramped venue.

Maybe but there's at least 7 people in the band, not to mention any crew, and I can't imagine they're making a fortune playing places like the Back Room

They were on a tour with Holy Wave, (another five people) and probably had vans or a tour bus. Five hundred miles isn't that far to drive.

Yes, it's not hard for a person to drive 500 miles. It is difficult for more than a dozen people, along with gear and equipment, to travel 500 miles. And they had to seriously hustle to get there, find the place, load in, soundcheck, etc etc etc before they're set to go on stage, with no margin for error or the show is cancelled. And then they had to immediately get back on the road and drive 1,100 miles.

In fact, they're probably racing down the road right now because that show that's 1,100 miles away is in just a few hours. In less than 96 hours, this entire group has driven at least 1,600 miles and played two shows. Maybe that's not impressive to you and maybe you've never done anything remotely like that.

I didn't say it wasn't impressive. I just said it was doable.
