I don't know about you but I sure do miss the energy of live music and the sense of community that one gets when seeing bands at an intimate venue.
On this edition of The Rodent Hour I've included a few tracks from artists that I've really enjoyed seeing live and, surprise!, that I would love to see share a bill together when, not if, those opportunities arise again.

The Rodent Hour is an homage to the friends that Matt Attack made during his misspent youth, those lifelong friends who joined him on those weekend nights so many years ago and whose eclectic tastes still influence the selection of artists and music that is featured on the show.
Fourteen years after arriving in Brooklyn he continues to be a tireless advocate for the independent musicians that still play with the ferocity and intensity he grew up listening to.
