Best show of the year, for me, was Get 3 Coffins Ready and Slacktone at 3 Kings Tavern in Denver.
Sadly, it wins pretty much by default, since it was one of only one or two surf bills I saw last year, but even in a field of 10-12, I strongly suspect it would have come out on top, as Slacktone were utterly incredible that night.
I'm really going to miss Get 3 Coffins Ready, since it sounds like they're about to go through some changes.
