DESCRIPTION:
Perhaps for the last time in quite a while, we went to Milwaukee to see Jail play a couple weeks ago. Opening in the somewhat oddly laid-out club was a band with a somewhat odd instrumentation, the Trusty Knife, Milwaukee's presumably only indie rock band with a bassoon player. They played a spirited opening set, which included some tunes from their recently released debut, and also some non-album tracks like this one. The energy on display here is generally quite a bit higher than that on their record and I hope they find a way to capture it in the future.
