Critic's Notebook: Opening act Woodsman, a NYC-via-Denver trio, was a pleasant surprise. Beneath their noisy, pedal-driven instrumental guitar attack, there was always a propulsive rhythm (often Krautrock-influenced) and a nice midrange buzz. Like jazzbos under the influence of Spacemen 3, each song set up a simple riff and explored its permutations for several minutes before fading away. Sometimes three chords is already at least two too many. Sleep in Sundays, a band bred in St. Louis but based in Olympia, kicked off the evening with its unassuming, hushed sound. There were elements of Elliott Smith in the finger-picked guitar and Eric Williger's subdued vocals, with occasional small crescendos a la Mount Eerie.

Yeah, I did unfortunately miss him. I'll blame it on having to turn in my review, sleep for a few hours, and go to work in the am.

Too bad the reviewer left before Dustin Wong, the highlight of the evening.
