I had read somewhere that The Wooden Birds are kin to American Analog Set. I had forgotten that tidbit of information when I took their show in last week and was immediately struck by the similarities between the two bands. The Wooden Birds are ballsier and have a feminine quality that make them more likable live. I contributed some photos to the Denver Post‘s Reverb concert blog that you can check out here.

In celebration of the show, I found this live show of Great Lake Swimmers from last year. The sound quality is superb, thanks Victory Rose!
