They are easily my favorite local band and their debut “Gorilla Manor” is still something I listen to often, even though I’ve heard it a gazillion times and a bunch of other CDs are begging for my attention.

OK, I’ll admit it, I cheated. Naming my favorite live performances of the year on Morning Becomes Eclectic was far too hard so I purposefully disqualified three of the bands who also made my Top 10 Albums of the Year list — Best Coast, Black Keys and Band of Horses.
