Kansas City trio Takedown reunites tomorrow night for a one-off show at the gazebo in Brookfield's City Park. Wayward Blog spoke with bassist and lead vocalist Chad Stewart via e-mail about the band's reunion.
Are you just reuniting for the one show, or will you be doing more?
Takedown at this point is only reuniting for this one show.
An email address is a small price to pay to hear the new track from Springfield's Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. The band's third release, Let It Sway, is out on Polyvinyl on August 17, and it's produced by Death Cab for Cutie's guitarist, Chris Walla. At first glance, the song seems like a tighter, more focused take on the band's sweet, comfortable indie pop (which feels like the sonic equivalent of hugging a warm load of fresh laundry).

June 22. In the meantime, you can stream their latest, Destroyer of the Void (out June 8 on Sub Pop) over at NPR. Or if
you want it for your iPod, you can download "Dragon's Song," a track from Void, plus an exclusive demo, at the
band's website.
yield the usual Blitzen Trapper returns: weirdo twang, stacked harmonies, one
folk ditty for every art-rock stomp, a hodgepodge of 1970s sounds the band expertly molds into something uniquely its own. If you liked these guys before, there's little on the new album that should
change your mind. If you liked them just okay, but thought their arrangements weren't theatrical enough, well, this is the album for you, because there's clear echoes of Jethro Tull, Queen, and Hunky Dory-era Bowie on this thing.
