Two locally relevant news items about the Mountain Goats

Posted by David Hudnall on Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 8:21 AM

click to enlarge The Mountain Goats are coming to the Bottleneck and the Blue Note.
  • The Mountain Goats are coming to the Bottleneck and the Blue Note.
, though, and you begin to notice the genius of songwriter John Darnielle's lyrics. And that there's an emotional heft to the songs, a pureness of intention, a maturity, that you didn't even realize you were so starved for. Before long, you're alone in your room, fists clenched, tears streaming down your cheeks, shouting along with Darnielle on the glorious last line of "Broom People." Or I've heard of stuff like that happening, I mean. 

Oh, also: the band is playing a show (UPDATE: two shows) near here, relatively soon. 


The Blue Note website says the Mountain Goats are playing the venue on Tuesday, October 5, with similarly folky Wye Oak. Tickets on sale tomorrow (July 30) at noon. 

[UPDATE: And the night before, October 4, Darnielle & Co. will be playing a show closer to home, at the Bottleneck in Lawrence.] 

And don't forget, you can catch the final showing of Tallahassee, a musical based on the Goats album of the same name, this Saturday, July 30, at 10:30 p.m. at the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre (3604 Main).

I hate that people think Columbia is "near here". It's closer to St. Louis than KC!

There was a listing on the bottleneck website for a mountain goats show in October. I guess they changed there minds. That sucks.
