Last Saturday I went to my local record shop Blackbyrd here in Edmonton to catch Altameda perform an acoustic set in celebration of the release of their new album Time Hasn't Changed You. This was a free show by RSVP only, and not only did we get to see Altameda, but there was also free beer courtesy of local craft brewers Bent Stick Brewing.
There was a good turn out for the show, which saw Troy Snaterse and drummer Erik Grice who was playing guitar this time play a four song set at the store. It's too bad though that they had PA problems through out, with the speakers crackling and buzzing. You could see Troy was getting frustrated with the situation but both Troy and Erik soldiered on. I believe they would have played longer had they not had the sound problems. They played a couple new songs "Time Hasn't Changed Me" and "Bowling Green". To end the set they unplugged from the amp and mic and just did a truly unplugged song. That song being a cover song by Big Star called "Thirteen", which sounded amazing. Good times!!!
