The venerable Califone brought their delectable experimental blues to the Twin Cities on September of 2023. This was one of those bucket list-type shows for me. I learned about Red Red Meat from one of the bartenders at The Dominion Tavern, in Ottawa, Canada, my local dive bar. I still remember getting Bunny Gets Paid (along with a truckload of other stuff!!!) at the Shake Records boxing day sale, quite literally the most exciting day of the year, in what must have been 1995.
When Califone emerged from the ashes of RRM, another side of Tim Rutili became evident. More experimental, equally genius. Hearing Tim's voice in a live setting was thrilling for me. Not much to say except that the band was in fine form and sounding absolutely wonderful; Tim was both in a chatty mood and extremely funny. A band as historied as Califone has too much back catalogue for you to get to hear your most fervent wish. For me it would have been "Dime Fangs". But I digress...we were all just lucky to be there.
ps. As always, please go out and support these fine folks if they come anywhere near you (7 hours for me!).
