Palehound at Lee's Palace - Concert Pictures

Thursday, August 17 marked my third time seeing Palehound live. My photos from their first Canadian show at The Horseshoe are here and my photos from their second time at The 'Shoe are here.

This time up, I found them to have a more aggressive and powerful sound. This was probably mostly to do with their new bass player who delivers a solid yet heavy and gritty sound. When was the last time you heard someone applaud the bass sound check?

The Boston band hit up Lee's Palace on a tour stop with Outer Spaces and Waxahatchee. They were smack dab in the middle of the line-up and definitely brought things up a notch. Their latest album, A Place I'll Always Go, is out now. I definitely like this band more, and look forward to each performance more, every time I see them perform.

Check out a bunch of Palehound's excellent music and don't miss them next time they pass through your town.

Palehound at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern - Concert Pictures

I first saw Palehound at their very first show in Canada. It took place at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern as they opened for Speedy Ortiz. I was impressed by the band's tunes and delivery at that show so I was looking forward to this show as the band started their tour with Torres.

They opened with singer/guitarist Ellen Kempner delivering a tune solo. This was followed by the whole band kicking in for some great power trio tunes with some 90s influence. Highlights for me were "Healthier Folk", "Molly" and "Pet Carrot". You can grab their album Dry Food and EP Bent Nail.

Check out some of Palehound's music:

"Healthier Folk"

"Molly"

"Dry Food"

"Dixie"

Closing tune "Pet Carrot"

Palehound with Healthier Folk from Dry Food

I caught Palehound opening for Speedy Ortiz at The Horseshoe and I was suitably impressed. Their album Dry Food just came out and they've released this video for "Healthier Folk". Give the tune a listen.

Palehound appeared at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern on June 5 opening for Speedy Ortiz. They're from Boston and this show marked their first time in Canada.

I loved the grimy 90s guitar riffs and buckets of passion in Ellen Kempner's delivery. The band play passionate tunes with loose riffs mixed with tight rhythm section. Kempner's vocals drip emotion.

Their next album, Dry Food, will be out August 14. Check out the first single "Molly" below.

Give this band a listen and I'd recommend seeing them in your town.

"Molly"

"Drooler"
