Gifts From Enola recently broke up so I wanted to pull this out of the Archives. This recording was originally posted in August 2009. No editing was done in 2009 so if you enjoyed that recording I encourage you to check out what Jordan has done here.

Gifts From Enola were booked to play Minneapolis exactly two years prior to this show on July 29th 2007 at Memory Lanes with Nomia but I believe the show got canceled on the Mpls side. They came back the summer 2008 but I was out of town. I was happy to finally catch up with them at The Turf Club. Gifts From Enola, Falcon Arrow and peoplearemagnets opened for Paragraphs.

They have one last show at Bule Nile in Harrisonburg, VA on June 8th.

GFE were to play Minneapolis the summer of '07 but I believe the show was canceled on the venue side. They came back summer '08 but I was unable to attend. Finally caught up with them in St. Paul, as this recording demonstrates I'm certainly glad I did. These guys tour hard and you still have a couple weeks to catch them as they head back out East. The new album "From Fathoms" is out on Mylene Sheath Records.

Thanks to the Turf Club for being the Midway spot.

Closing out July '09...

First things first, I need to get Future of the Left's 7/22 set posted (with their blessing) hopefully tonight.

Last night More Cowbell presented a show at The Turf Club with a stacked bill that included; Gifts From Enola, Paragraphs, Falcon Arrow & peoplearemagnets. Nothing says Wednesday night like sippin' ice water while enjoying some fine post-rock until the wee hours of the morning. Opps, I said the "p" word. Catch Gifts From Enola on their way back East if possible. Here's hoping the tapes sound nice. They're right behind Future of the Left.

Friday invloves a bit of a predicament. I was already down for the Ice Palace show at the Turf but upon speaking with my friend JK last night I was reminded that Disembodied play an early show at Station 4. Some 10 bands for $10 tour including Posion the Well, Bane, Terror, Disembodied, The Ghost Inside, War of Ages, This Is Hell, Death Before Dishonor, High Hopes & Relentless. This thing starts at 1:30pm and I'm really only interested in taping Disembodied. I'd be tempted to cover the last three bands if they were cool with it and time permitted. HMMM. I was planning on heading "home" to relax before another late night at the Turf but a decision to haul gear to work will have to be made before Friday morning. The idea of protecting a stand & bag of gear from an AA hardcore crowd at Station 4 does not sound appealing.
