Live blues and garage rock show by Loon and Crow at Slim's Downtown.
Loon and Crow are playing Slim's Downtown this Saturday, October 10, for a live show that puts blues and garage rock in the same room. It's a straightforward bill: the band takes the stage, and that's the whole afternoon.
If you're not familiar with the name, the sound is exactly what the description suggests. They pull from the blues tradition—the slow burn, the slide, the grit—and run it through a garage rock filter, so it's got a raw, unpolished edge rather than a polished studio sheen. It's the kind of set that works just as well if you're there for the groove as it does if you're there for the noise.
One thing that sets this apart from the usual Raleigh gig is the timing. Instead of a late-night slot, they're playing the afternoon, which changes the whole feel of the room. It's a Saturday matinee, so you can catch the music and still have your entire evening open. If you've spent your weekends chasing 10 PM start times, this is a welcome change of pace.
