Went down to denver to see Rail Road Earth down in denver last night. The show was supposed to start at 10pm, so of course the band didn't start until around 11:15 or so. I guess clubs are kinda trapped into doing that now, since everyone expects it. If they started shows on time no one would be there for the early part of the show. It's not a big deal to me on a saturday, but annoys me on weekday nights.

The show was at Cervantes Masterpeice Ballroom which is a place I had never been to before. Not a bad venue. Good space and seating, nice stage layout and decor, but the sound system seemed kind of weak to me. They could do with putting up some more speakers high up to project better. They did have some acoustic baffle thingies, but not sure how much they helped. The place has the largest disco ball I have ever seen, it was very very cool.

The band was very good. They played two sets and finished up around 1:30am. They played hard the entire time. The fiddler was particularly excellent. The audience was really into things. Lots of dancing and such. In fact after they started playing I don't think there were many people that were still sitting down. Everyone headed out to the floor. All in all I would recoomend them. See them if they come near you. :)
