The band is moving up. Last time they played here, I caught up with them at the Hi-Dive. Not shabby. Of all the projects that Spencer Krug is involved in, the new album, Dragonslayer, is his most ambitious to date. The same goes for his partner in crime from Wolf Parade, Dan Boeckner, and his project with Handsome Furs this year. (tour dates via BV)
