leilaerophone This is one of the best live albums I've ever heard, and definitely my favorite renditions of the Christmas/holiday songs that appear on it. The recording quality is superb and the band is so tight. Also, as a flute player myself, I really appreciate Nolan's playing and the strong flute presence on every song. I think listening to this album on repeat will be my new holiday tradition! Favorite track: Seahorse Retreat.

rocky was here "Everett Bergstedt on the kitchen sink!" Truly a whirlwind of a take on Singing a Single Song of Sata--I mean Santa. This Christmas-i-fied showcase of originals (and the Harry Potter theme?) is unmatched. Favorite track: Singing a Single Song of Santa.
Poesy Rider

Poesy Rider Une savoureuse madeleine de Proust qui nous replonge avec délices au début des années 70. Impossible de ne pas penser à Jethro tull et Steve Hillage. Mmmmm ! Favorite track: A Wizard of the Wind.

about

Though it was only six months ago, this already feels like a relic from another time. A time when we could pack Hotel Vegas with our friends and stay out til 3am and wake up with our ears still ringing. We really enjoyed putting together this holiday affair and I'm happy to share it with y'all. Someday Nightmare Band will be back and I hope you enjoy this til then.
-Nolan

Recorded live at Hotel Vegas in Austin, Texas 12/22/19 at 1am, warts and all.
