The Douglas Firs played their first ever set a month or so ago, in support of eagleowl at the latter's EP launch. And just in case you didn't think that the Edinburgh alt-folk scene was so incestuous that it is probably fucking itself, never mind a close relative, what is nominally a solo project was fleshed out by notable band-whores Owen Williams and Bart Owl.

In both cases I don't really know what the future of the respective projects might be, because I don't know how far either is going to be pushed, but they are both very good and I thought they needed sharing. Firstly we have The Douglas Firs. This is a side project of Jesus H, Foxx drummer Neil Inch, and has been bubbling under for years. He's been working on this album for ages, but [...]

The three-band bill is headlined by San Francisco quintet Film School, who released one of my favorite discs of last year in "Hideout". Joining them are a couple of my favorite Boston bands: my pals in The Broken River Prophet (
