Blitzen Trapper Tour W/Two Gallants
I’m not going to lie and say I know much about either of these bands, but I can’t have a conversation with a certain friend of mine without him asking me if I have listened to Blitzen Trapper yet, and I’m starting to feel almost guilty while also thinking that I might be missing something. A couple of quick listens on their myspace page finds quick comparisons to Wilco and Big Star. Wilco in the vocal styling sense with the musical sounds reminding me of the great Big Star.
Looks like we’ll have the opportunity to investigate for ourselves what Blitzen Trapper is all about as they hit the road this Fall with Two Gallants. I’m getting there Blitzen Trapper, it’s just taking me awhile.

And if you don’t know who Big Star is, shame on you!! I highly recommend that you check them out, and you probably have already heard one of their songs…the theme song to That 70′s Show. Cheap Trick performs the version you hear on the tele.
