Concert review: Lambchop at The State Room

In case you missed it–and judging by the attendance at the show, most of you did–Nashville’s self-proclaimed “most fucked-up country band” played a fine show Sunday night at The State Room, focusing heavily on the band’s latest release, Mr. M.

Band leader Kurt Wagner is one mesmerizing songwriter, reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and Magnetic Fields’ Stephen Merritt. I reviewed the show for Salt Lake City Weekly, and you can check out my complete thoughts right here.

Props to openers The Folka Dots, who delivered a strong set of their patented vocal harmonies. If you’ve yet to see them in one of their many shows around town, get on it!
