Built to Spill, Showbox, 6/15

Seattle Skip to the Comments

Last night I caught Built to Spill at the Showbox, their last of three Seattle shows that kick off the tour for their latest album, You in Reverse. I’ve seen Built to Spill four times now and they never disappoint, and the Showbox is one of my favorite venues in Seattle. The setlist was peppered with new You in Reverse songs, of which Goin’ Against Your Mind and Conventional Wisdom really got my blood pumping.

Shawn Telford writes about Built’s Tuesday show over at the PI, “Built To Spill deserves our full attention”

Most multi-guitar bands caterwaul their way into a discordant chaos. Not BTS, this five-piece is able to keep all strings on course and what’s more, they’re able to mount catastrophic attacks on our pop sensibilities that leave listeners dumbstruck and amazed.

    Just got the album, and listened to it all the way through. This is some good music, and true to Doug Marsh’s style. A testament to making “one’s own music,” and doing it well. Most of all, I love the killer BTS riffs that you can’t find with other bands.
