2007 was a successful year for Tucson’s Golden Boots, as they released the full-length album Burning Brain, were signed to Pennsylvania-based Park the Van Records (home to Dr. Dog, and The Teeth, among others), and toured extensively with Magnolia Electric Co., while continuing to build upon their stellar reputation here in the Old Pueblo. 2008 looks to be even brighter for the Boots, as they’ll be releasing a new album as well as representing Tucson at Austin’s SXSW festival.

We managed to rope them in for a Locals Only appearance when they were fresh off a west coast tour, and you can now download the Golden Boots Studio 2A Performance and Interview.

Fronted by long-time local musician Kevin Henderson, The Swigs manage to fuse jam-band improvisation with classic rock grooves to create a fun aural experience. While Kevin Henderson released his own ambitious double-CD, Watch Your Head, on his Sapient Records label earlier this year, The Swigs are woodshedding and getting ready to record their own full-length album.

In the meantime, the trio joined us on Locals Only, and you can now download The Swigs Studio 2A Performance and Interview.
