The Mountain Goats concert hits the highlights
Rather than playing songs from their most recent album, the night’s focus was on fan favorites. When it comes to favorite bands, I often avoid or fear concerts. Nothing’s worse than watching your idols fall apart right in front of your eyes. So to say that I approached The Mountain Goats concert with a touch […]
