The Long Winters and The Broken West

The Long Winters, whose latest album, Putting the Days to Bed, was one of my favorite albums of 2006 are playing at the Duck Room on Saturday, April 7 with current blog-hypers The Broken West. Both bands combine a potent combo of power-pop hooks and americana color to create completely listenable and enjoyable albums, from beginning to end. Listen for yourself here:
