Don't miss Uz Jsme Doma -- they will be driving to your town soon!Celebrating their 15th anniversary and closing in on their 1,000th performance, Uz Jsme Doma is turtling across North America again, playing 35 cities in 40 nights. Nils of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum says, "These guys are touring monsters!" And they are. One moment, we dance jerkily and with great joy to the musical equivalent of a camel stampede. The next, we stand transfixed as the band leads us hypnotically into the catacombs of imagination, each note the flicker of a candle guiding us through the dark. Their Seattle show this time was way better than last year's--they've mastered the material on their almost operatic new release, EARS, and it was this new stuff that moved us most. It's some of the most creative music out there, ripped straight from the id and engineered to perfection. See them if you get the chance:
