Locksley "Why Not Me" (13.8 MB) from Don't Make Me Wait Memorial Union Terrace Madison, WI July 6, 2007

Finally! After an extremely light June, I've got a bunch of early July shows to post, starting with this Locksley set from the Terrace.

Locksley left Madison for Brooklyn several years ago, but they've played here several times already this year in support of their terrific sophomore full-length, which is a collection of tunes that owe a lot to the Beatles, but also to the Kinks, Cheap Trick, Elvis Costello and various other power-pop touchstones. Playing in front of maybe the biggest non-Michael Moore crowd I've ever seen on the Terrace, they dove in with this rousing short burst of a song, which set the tone for their whole show.
