Live In San Francisco

2015 release, the long overdue seventh entry in Castle Face's Live in San Francisco series, starring The Blind Shake. Captured to tape at the same shows as the OBN IIIs' live record, The Blind Shake were tour-greased and fully torqued over three night at The Chapel in San Francisco way back in 2013. For those unfamiliar: the sheer bodily reaction to seeing these guys is a unique pleasure. They are consistently one of the most fun bands doin' it to it these days-such a direct channel to your inner teenager it's more often than not you end up in the pit, awash in baritone guitar and that let's wig out beat. Whether you're a noob or a vet, all your bludgeoning favorites are here, one song combing into the next with tasty bites of guitar, and man, they swing that hammer all over this thing. A sterling testament to their claim as the heaviest nice guys around. Their chrome domes shined up real nice for the excellent night-of photographs from main man Brian Pritchard, and as usual John Dwyer, Chris Woodhouse, Eric Bauer and Bob Marshall were manning the decks, keepin' it crisped for the hi-fis at home.
