The Bad Penny (beta)

Keeping this quick, because The Bad Penny doesn’t typically run a review of a show previously previewed on the site: By any means necessary, catch Anciients on their current tour of the U.S., the Vancouver band’s first in eight years. Their gig in Boise on Friday night at the Shredder was pitch-perfect. When the band finished their 10-song set, it took awhile for the attendees to leave, as they struggled to locate their jaws, which had dropped off their faces and onto the floor during Anciients’ unrelenting, uncompromising, unpretentious and unimaginably spot-on set.
