Yukon Blonde (Great Hall, Mar. 10, CMW)

From the rhyming triplet introduction for Buck 65 (Neutron bomb/Yukon Blonde?) right through to the ripping guitars of the final encore song this was a set to please. This four piece blasts ahead with guitar rock that has enough pop sensibility to have you shouting along all night. Along with the familiar cuts from their self titled, post name change, they mixed in a handful of new tracks that were completely up to snuff. Collectively they've got as much talent as they've got hair and that shone as they ripped guitars all over Bride's Song. In fact the dude with the short hair, relatively speaking, could be seen noodling incessantly as well as providing the ooooos on Wind Blows.
Other highlights were when they pulled enough friends up on stage to double the Yukon population, as well as their incendiary encore closer that smoldered until it finally caught flames and roared.
