The Little Mill of Happiness – Blog
Saturday night was great. We enjoyed playing a stripped back acoustic set. It was quite different. It was great meeting Eric Chenaux who is on Constellation Records, a label we have been fans of for a long time. It was great being able to talk about Godspeed You Black Emperor, Vic Chestnut, Fugazi etc with Eric. We had a blast.
Our friend Ash Davidson took some photos from the night. Please check out Ash Davidson’s photography.

“The final trip downstairs took us to the final act of the night, The Little Mill of Happiness. This was the first time that I’ve seen them this year. One local writer said that they were, in 2011 in terms of local acts, “head and shoulders above the rest”, so do they still have the edge? Well, a word, yes. But that doesn’t make a review.
What does make a review is watching a band full of intensity and purpose, something that Little Mill have bucket loads of. Tracks from their Capsized Sailors were interspersed throughout the set, but newer yet to be released, and in some cases to be titled songs, invaded our minds making them as memorable as those recorded. Steve Obern was in the zone tonight, with intense connection. This sense of purpose pervades the rest of the band as they shake the bar to its foundations. Direct, emotive and with no innuendo, Little Mill have an agenda, an agenda they are fulfilling. Tonight confirmed that they still sit at the top of the pile, at least in one writer’s opinion.
Further photos of the evening are here.”
