Let me guess. Nasally voiced "singer" with pseudo-slacker-intellectual lyrics and deliberately shoddy production?

You're above pretending you're unfamiliar with NMH and "guessing" what they're like. Come on, that's an atomic move.

I think I *might* have listened to one of their albums once about five years ago, hated it, made the mental notes I just recounted and wrote them off. Before that, I had only heard their name. True story.
Or then again, maybe I only thought I heard them, and gave the review as if I had.

The 2640 show cant be touched… This one is at DAR.
As for NMH, I listened to them for the first time last year, after I bought my ticket to 2640. I had heard their name before in magazines, but for some reason I never pursued listening to them. Now after getting their albums and seeing them live, I am definitely a fan.

That's too funny! I listened to them for the first time last year, after I missed out on getting tickets to Mangum solo and the 2640 show. I had heard their name before in magazines, but for some reason I never pursued listening to them. Now after getting their albums and looking forward to seeing them live, I am definitely a fan.

I think the Jeff Magnum show at Lincoln was better than the 2640 space show. Maybe hearing him do the songs a second time lost some of the excitment, maybe it was the lack of alcohol at the venue.

that was a fantastic show. He was so good on his own.
I missed the French horn and saw stuff, so looking for to the full crescendo on some of their numbers
Not sure why he only does seated venues?

I listened for the first time about 5 years ago, and spent the whole summer listening to Aeroplane.
The Lincoln Theater solo show was sweet and touching, and the NMH show in Richmond this fall was a blast. I am looking forward to a happy crowd tonight.

$4.75 to print at home…that is insane. Saves them money to not have to print a hard ticket/mail/hold at will call.
