Show Recap – Tillicum October 24, 2009
Written by - DanDonerail descended on fair Beaverton, OR for our second appearance at The Tillicum Club. Once again, we were the only band on the bill, which allowed us about 3 hours to spread our proverbial wings and explore, not only what directions we could take with our own music, but we were able to test drive some new covers and take a second look at showcasing some individual talent within the band.
Even though we were missing some of our favorite friends, we were happy to entertain a pretty good crowd that contained some very unexpected new fans.
Highlights:
- Duncan’s performance of St. James Infirmary … or Gambler’s Blues – Great old traditional song. Leave it to Dunc to bust out an old timey gem!
- JP’s performance of Thirteen – JP channels Big Star is this tender ballad. No, seriously…tender. Alex Chilton would have been proud.
- Jake’s performance of 14 Cheerleader Coldfront - Jake doing his best Robert Pollard, minus getting butt-ass drunk and throwing awkward high leg kicks.
- A mostly acoustic version of Portland – Slightly different, and much tighter than on the first Donerail album: Disconnected.
