"These fine people – as they’re traveling through America’s heartland – take two hours out of their travels between shows to stop in for a Daytrotter Session at The Horseshack in downtown Rock Island, Ill. The name of the city is not ironic. They use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, utilize an often unkempt toilet, eat some food and then cram back into their vans for the last half of the drive. What they leave behind is a pile of ashes, sometimes a forgotten stocking hat and four absolutely collectible songs that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments. These songs are them as they are on that particular day, on that particular tour – dirty and alive. We want you to make this your new home as it is ours. We promise that you will love it here."
I discovered the Daytrotter website through Fucked Up who posted theirs on their blog (which you can check on the right). I was quickly intrigued by this concept and kept on checking the Daytrotter website. Bands like Fucked Up, Dinosaur Jr., No Age, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Death Cab for Cutie, Daniel Johnston, Black Lips, the Get Up Kids, etc, have a session which you can download for free. Definitely worth checking out. Latest favourite of mine: Dinosaur Jr which brings back their awesome set at Pukkelpop last year. Play loud.
