Kill An Hour: Blitzen Trapper Stop by KCRW

My favorite touring act of the moment Blitzen Trapper made a stop over at KCRW for an amazing in-studio session.

SoCal's KCRW is no stranger to these performances, and neither is BT who often stop mid-tour for these mini sessions, most notably the Daytrotter Sessions (I think they've done, what, 4 of them now?)

Really outdid themselves here, you can see that the touring helped them hone the "Furr" stuff (that's their p-h-e-n-o-m-e-n-a-l album they put out in late '08). An effortless performance that should help you mentally drift away from your desk for an hour so. It's Tuesday, I know you need that as much as I do!

Enjoy and head over to their official site for tour dates, more vids, and a solid community of fans - http://blitzentrapper.net/

Blitzen Trapper...Need I Say More?

Everything these guys touch is gold.

Their newest, "Furr" released at the end of last year rather quietly. Here's a live version of the album titled track. Easily setting the bar to beat for the year...we're still waiting



AND

Here's a rad video for their track, "Wild Mountain Nation"


I've had the urge to post this for a long time now. I had a very similar post on the old blog, before we moved to this location on Blogger, so I gave it some time to die down before I re-posted. This 4th of July I pretty much played a solid hour of studio/live BT stuff and it reminded me I needed to post it again.

Enjoy and get into 'em while you can. Count on Coffee Con to keep you up to date with any new happenings as well.
