Just got back from the Gordo show about a half an hour ago. Great time. This band far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend checking them out if they are close to you. Their killing it.
Show didnt’ start till after 9 although it was billed at 8. We got a two set show. The first set started with Dig Further Down. We actually got a Dig Further Down sandwich…as the first set ended up going back into Dig Futher Down! I remember Morphing In being pretty solid and Voices was spectacular. It was the keyboardists birthday tonight so Mike explained that they are going to play the world’s most famous song. This was before it was annouced that it was Todd’s B-day. So anyway Mike said he had to go get his second favorite gadget from the back. He proceeds to come out with a B-Day Cake and everyone sings. Pretty cool moment. By the way the keyboardist was excellent.
Second set was super long. Opened with Traveled too Far and then they brought out a specail guest, Stephanie Kinchlow, to sing a number. She sang I want to Hold Your Hand (Beatles). Interesting take on the song. I really enjoyed it. We also got Sugar Shack, Meat and Ain’t Love Funny all back to back in the second set. Gordon then told the audience that Tessa, his daughter, just too her first steps today. Although he wasn’t there, but supposedly she took 14 steps. Anyways Gordo then dedicated the next song to his daughter, 15 Steps…the Radiohead song they’ve been covering. Also got a Suskind Hotel late in the second set.
They encored with Things that Make you Go Hmm, which was really cool. Really fun time tonight!
I stayed a bit after and shook Mike’s hand at the Merch table. Told him thanks for coming to Indy. I then proceeded to get Inside In signed right on the front by Mike. Really good time.
There was also a taper there! I talked to him and he said he was going to post it on etree so I’m pumped for that. Well like I said check him out if he’s close. Good times will be had!
