Friday, July 27 Lifting the Veils
New Zealand via London band The Veils fills the studio 'In House' this weekend on OPB.
Some of you might have caught their show at Doug Fir a few weeks back, as they were touring in support of their new CD, Nux Vomica. The day after that gig, they stopped by OPB to play a few songs in the studio, including their cover of Springsteen's "State Trooper." (You can stream that below.) Finn Andrews and the band also talk about the meaning of Nux Vomica, playing the odd acoustic set in the women's room, and being high school classmates from New Zealand, which three members of the group were -- guitarist and singer Andrews, keyboard player Liam Gerrard, and bassist Sophia Burn. (Gerrard has since left the band.) We fit four members of the band into the studio for this -- Sophia sat on the floor with her bass under Liam's keyboard -- and while I thought the band sounded good as we taped the in-studio, one of the vagaries of the setup was that I couldn't hear the keyboard or second guitar as well as I wanted. Listening to the finished mix was fantastic! (Thank you Steven Kray!) Hear The Veils on "In House," Saturday night at 9. Now enjoy the songs.. -DC Stream: The Veils Live @ OPB (Recording Engineer: Steven Kray)

Wow I'm surprised the bathroom story made it all the way there...I was the one that asked them to play an acoustic set and took the photos. I thought it was really cool of Finn. I took some more of them last week in Lawrence KS.

Hi Rich,
It must have been played during David Christensen's Eclecticty. Playlists for all shows can be found here, to the left side of the page.
