Blitzen Trapper & Fleet Foxes @ Huckleberry’s Pizza in Rock Island, IL on 4/7/08

Daytrotter once again booked two up and coming bands at the local hot spot, Huckleberry’s Pizza. The idea is pretty simple and amazing because Daytrotter gets to bring in the band for a short live session while they’re on tour, and if they’re lucky they can mix in a live show as well.
