El Ten Eleven Live of course! The instrumental duo hailing from L.A. blessed Columbia with their presence this last Thursday and did not disappoint. Being a fan since their first self-titled album I was in disbelief when I found out they would be coming out here on their current U.S. tour.
Watching composer Kristian Dunn (the only word to describe his talent) own his instrument, a double neck guitar/bass, and Tim Fogarty smash the drums, or bass strings as seen in this picture, is something I will never forget. Their albums will have you jamming for hours, but too truly understand the depth of their skill you really have to see it done live.
Their current tour focuses on more of their new releases, with a much more electronic feel to it to which I had no complaints but was aching to hear some of the classics. The small albeit loud crowd @ Mojo's had them play 4 encores which included my personal favorites Lorge and My Only Swerving. It only added to the experience when I dove on top of Mr. Dunn's pick when he tossed, the greatest souvenir in my opinion. Check out these tracks, and check out the L-1011 myspace here to see if they'll be playing a show near you! You won't regret it.





Note: My lack of posting has been due mainly to an influx of school & the added timesink of FIFA '10 (one season already in the books in manager mode) but this trend shall not continue I assure you.
