8 Years by Colour Revolt from Daytrotter Session - 2/6/2012
colour revolt - 8 years (live @ daytrotter)
everyone in columbia is freaking out about seeing colour revolt on friday. and i would be, too (freaking out and seeing and freaking out about seeing), if i lived less than 1000 miles away.
but at least i have this (new) version of 8 years. at least i have this, all floating and dreamy.
colour revolt - blood in your mouth
i’m pretty sure the first time i saw these guys was at new brookland tavern on one of the hottest days ever of all time ever. they killed it, and they’ve been killing it ever since. (…and also before then, i just didn’t know about it).
in ben walker’s scenesc interview with jesse, he talks about columbia being a sort of home away from home (and part of the inspiration for a new family). my heart grew twelveteen sizes when i heard that. (god save the south).
(i took a bunch of videos, but probably won’t get around to putting up any more any time soon…not because they’re not awesome (they are), but because i should probably spend more time “working” and/or “sleeping”).

colour revolt - “moses of the south”
what did you do last night? unless you were one of the hundred or so people at the middle east upstairs, you were making a mistake. colour revolt absolutely killed it - thank god they still exist.
the set was almost entirely from the cradle and the first ep, with only “moses of the south” and “naked and red” from plunder beg and curse. and both of those were part of the (unplanned?) encore.
speaking of naked and red…
(remember to breathe, okay?)
