It’s always a great thing when you show up early enough at a concert to catch the opening acts you’re not familiar with and they wind up impressing you. Peter Wolf Crier is such a band. I hadn’t heard of the Peter Pisano and Brian Moen indie/alt-rock duo before but I’ll be keeping track of them. They remind me a bit of a Greg Markel-era Prime Movers or if Radiohead had started out as a two-piece and Thom Yorke wasn’t so maudlin, they might sound like this. It doesn’t hurt that Pisano’s voice is a little like Jeff Buckley’s with a shot of testosterone. Closing with their brilliant take on a Nick Drake song ended the set wonderfully and the folks in attendance that night were treated to another pleasant surprise when Peter joined the Heartless Bastards during their encore. I’m looking forward to the next time these guys are in town.
We recorded this set from the same spot on the balcony as Heartless Bastards and it came out very good. Hope you like what you hear as much as we did. Enjoy!
