fiveighthirteen

I'm dragging a bit this morning because last night was spent at The Barley Pub in Dover at a fiveighthirteen show. This is a great band - the trio of Nick Phaneuf, Mike Effenberger, and Mike Walsh. Nick's been living in Germany for many months now and this show was put together for Nick's current visit to the States. Last year, before Nick headed overseas, the trio played Radiohead's classic album Kid A in its entirety live at The Barley Pub. It was one of the great shows of 2007. Last night, they continued that tradition, playing a wide variety of Radiohead tunes, and mixing in some originals. It is really remarkable how they pull off the complexities of Radiohead with just three musicians in a little NH bar. But they seem to do it with relative ease. I'm looking forward to Nick's return to live in the states. Maybe at that point the band can work on more originals. They certainly have great potential.
