The last time I saw Snowden, it was at the Triple Rock Social and it was a very snowed-in day. It was kind of ironic that their name sounds like "snowed-in", yet the Atlanta, Georgia-based band exclaimed that they've never experienced snow like this before. Welcome to Minnesota!
That was only a few months ago, but now they're back, supporting Kings of Leon. Unfortunately, KoL canceled their appearance because they were sick (drugs or booze, you decide!), so suddenly Snowden is now the main and only act.
Since they only have an album and an EP (you can download 83% of the EP off their website), they played the majority of it for a little over an hour.
The highlight of the show was that they did a Zombies and a Neil Young song. I asked Jordan why they decided on those two covers and he said that the Zombies are the greatest band ever and that Neil Young was such a Rock n Roll song.
I'm including their cover of "Time of the Season (demo)" here, which is available on their official website (direct link: snowden.info).

PS, I'm going up north, and won't be back until Tuesday. Not really sure if I'll have 'net access.
