The Album Leaf – Fallin From The Sun
Date & Venue: 2011-01-23 – Now Sapphire Resort – Mayan Riviera, Mexico

As I mentioned in the intro, you don’t see a whole lot of live recordings from The Album Leaf, who I think was brilliantly booked and scheduled for these late afternoon time slots – though I heard that there was a bit of rain scaring off attendees from at least one of their sets. No future tour dates on the books for The Album Leaf, but while on their website I did learn that if you have an Album Leaf tattoo, you get in free to their shows.

This segment of music clocking in at over 30 minutes is the meat of this week’s Last Week’s Sauce Podcast. It’s a great combination of old (Crickets) and new (Portal To An Empty Head) with some fantastic playing throughout. The next sceduled show by the Disco Biscuits is Camp Bisco in July, but you can get a full listing of the band’s side-project tour dates over at discobiscuits.com

The third night of Mayan Holidaze had the three headlining bands each play special sets. The Disco Biscuits went with their instrumental alter-ego Tractorbeam, Umphrey’s McGee played a setlist based on attendee voting (a ballot was sent out a couple of weeks ago), and STS9 played an acoustic “Axe The Cables” set. As we reported last week, STS9 bassist David Murphy has been diagnosed with cancer and the band’s February and March itinerary has been postponed. We hope to see Murph and STS9 back on the stage really soon.

Brendan Bayliss sang all of In The Kitchen in Spanish. GENIUS! At the end he mutters something, still in Spanish, about being sorry and drinking too many beers. It was announced on Tuesday that long-time UM sound caresser Kevin Browning would be leaving the touring crew of Umphrey’s McGee. He’s still got a handful of shows left to mix though. Umphrey’s McGee [tour dates] plays tonight at Boston’s House of Blues.
