September/October 2007 
10/26/07 Spoon @ Cannery Row, Nashville, Tenn.(0)
October 28, 2007
One thing’s for certain- Nashville’s Cannery Row venues were made for bands like Spoon and The Ponys.
10/24/07 Hold Steady @ Lincoln Theater, Raleigh, N.C.
As cliché as it sounds, if I could drink with any band, I would definitely drink with the Hold Steady.

MARY GAUTHIER > Between Daylight and Dark
…we like Ms. Gauthier best when she stays out of the daylight.
