Dawes

Location
The Gorge Amphitheatre
eventtype bigfoot
event::about The Los Angeles quartet, Dawes, shares DNA with Simon Dawes, Taylor and Wylie's teenaged band with Blake Mills, but is a vastly different, more creatively audacious beast. "I didn't have a whole lot of respect for what it really meant to write songs back then," says Taylor Goldsmith. "They were more a vehicle to get to be a young guy in a band." As Simon Dawes dissolved, he realized rock'n'roll was more than just a lifestyle choice - that even if he never got to be as brilliant as his favorite artists (a list that ranges from Nabokov, Fitzgerald and Rilke to Will Oldham, John Prine and Townes Van Zandt), that was where he had to aim.

There is real evil out there, but Evil Urges is about how all of these things that you've been told are evil really aren't, unless they're actually hurting something or somebody."
