Bowerbirds at Grey Eagle, August 2008

Bowerbirds are back tonight at The Grey Eagle. Since they were last in town, they came out with an amazing album, Upper Air. The new songs seem fuller and more intimate, but lack some of the rawness I liked about Hymns For A Dark Horse.

Jagjaguwar artist Julie Doiron will open the show. I don’t know about her, but the couple tracks I’ve heard sound good, she collaborated with Mount Eerie (ex-Microphones) in 2008 on Lost Wisdom, and her 2007 album, Woke Myself Up, was nominated for a Polaris Prize!

Lydia See has some great shots of their show last May at the Rocket Club. The shots above are from their last show at the Greagle in August 2008.
