I saw Lee and Steve Gunn at the Warhol in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Great plugged-in-acoustic performances by both but there was a bit of a grim mood due to it being the final night of Obama's presidency, which both performers mentioned. Before one song, Lee said something along the lines of 'what the fuck is going to happen now? And the most fucked up thing is that the people who voted for Trump are the ones who are going to end up hurting the most.'
Lee did "Ambulancer" and "Hammer Blows" - otherwise it was all new stuff that will be on Electric Trim, which he said should be out in May. Lee was pretty feisty and angry, a lot of growling and shouting in the new songs which was cool to see. For the last song, Steve Gunn and Meg Baird joined him on stage for a cover of "Revolution Blues."
