529 in Atlanta

• Elf Power w/Tobin Sprout
• Mathis Hunter

• 529

Mathis Hunter - it was his band's 2nd gig. I think this was better gig than the album release show. I maybe biased 529 is comfier room with the right amount people. And it was… Tobin Sprout - Tobin brought out all the key GBV tunes he is known for intermixed with solo. Highlighting a few tracks from his new album as well. His voice has not aged at all and sounded wonderful. It reminded me that I loved him as much Uncle Bob and co during the “classic” 90’s period of GBV. After prompts from the crowd to play more. The drummer reassembled his high hat and they launched into a few more ending on “Waves” that turned into joyous singalong. Elf Power - unbeknownst to me Elf Power just released a new album “Twitching in Time.” They played a lot of it. It was good. much like Tobin - EP doesn't seem tired -more like refreshed.. Bands can age well and get better!
