The last time we saw Broncho, they were playing songs from their re-release of Can't Get Past The Lips. With this 2014 tour, the Oklahoma band is showcasing their forthcoming album Just Enough Hip To Be Woman, coming out September 16, 2014, via Dine Alone Music.

Low Litas

Opening up the three band show, later than original time listed, were Low Litas. Currently, at least on this tour, the band consists of Mandii on lead guitar and vocals, Penny on bass and backup vocals, and Nathan on drums.

Low Litas Setlist

The Tulsa, Oklahoma, band is heavily influenced by My Blood Valentine, with lots of guitar distortion... but unlike MBV, Mandii's vocals are not incomprehensible. The trio basically played their entire self-titled debut album (Horton Records): "Busted", "Knocked Up Cheerleader", "So Sure", "New Kills", "Closer", "Leave the Rest", "Obe", and "Go On."

Next up were The Lemons, a 60s-inspired surf band from Chicago. You get the feeling that these guys should be surfing the waves in California or skateboarding down the streets. The other thing about the Lemons is that they have an ever-rotating roster of musicians, for last night, they were a duo of just Chris on guitars and James on percussions.

To get an idea of what these guys are like, check out the interview with The Lemons. At one point, a guy from the street joined in our conversation. Totally weird and random, but it's all sunshine and happiness with The Lemons.

Since we last saw Broncho last year, the band seemingly got an upgrade as for this current tour, they are backed up by the first opening band Low Litas. Maybe it's the new songs, or maybe it's Low Litas, but their music is much beefier than I remembered it... however the same yip yip can be heard from singer/guitarist Ryan Lindsey.

Setlist

As you can see from their setlist, the first half were Just Enough Hip To Be Woman, which is not officially out yet, but from what I've heard, it sounded good live. They ended their set with "Class Historian," which got the audience really pumped up.

The most interesting thing about this show was that there was a 10 year old kid (I'm just speculating on his age) that was a big Broncho fan. He grabbed the setlist and got the band to sign it.

Broncho are currently on tour in support of Just Enough Hip To Be Woman, out September 16th on Dine Alone Records. Their FREE album release party will be taking place this Monday, September 15th, at the Horsehoe in Toronto, Canada.

W♥M221: The Lemons

W♥M221: The Lemons (6 mins) Read More The Lemons You may recall that Jimi reported about The Lemons at Secret House Concert in Chicago (05 June 2014). …

I don't really do that many interviews (the last one we did was for Information Society), but this "interview" with The Lemons is by far and away my favorite. Just listen to that intro, and you'll see why.

The Lemons just played with Broncho and Low Litas at the 7th Street Entry ... a review of the show will be posted shortly. In the meantime, enjoy the brief chat with Chris & James from The Lemons. We talked about how they got their name (stole it from Mongolia's The Lemons) and about Tripp Tapes and cassettes. Also, some random guy on the street stopped by to help us sing "Judy."

Song of the show is, "Lemoncita", the latest split with Tokyo's Teen Runnings on Gary Records.

Upcoming Lemons shows:

09/27 @ Bric-A-Brac Records - Cassette Store Day
10/25 @ Southgate House, Newport, KY
10/30 @ The Owl Halloween Show
11/27 @ Township - Chicago, IL
