Baby Teeth "Intolerable" (19.1 MB) from The Simp High Noon Saloon Madison, WI July 14, 2007

When I probably should've been preparing for my flight to Boston the next day and subsequent two-week stay, I instead went to the High Noon to see two opening acts at the Redwalls show. Robbers on High Street became my favorite Spoon tribute band a couple years, but the surprise of the show was how good Chicago's Baby Teeth were. I'd heard and enjoyed their new record, The Simp, but their live show -- particularly as the first act of the night, when nobody was paying much attention -- was a real powerhouse, producing a kind of Elton John-led indie rock act that mostly got the crowd off their phones and looking toward the stage.
