Blitzen Trapper Meet Conan

Local boys make good! Blitzen Trapper, currently blazing a Furr-y trail across this great land in support of their recent Sub Pop debut, stopped by Conan O'Brien's show Monday night to give the people a taste of the gentler side of their New Cosmic American Music (term coined by me, by way of Gram Parsons). No word on whether or not they hung with Snoop Dog. The band's first hometown show in a long while is December 4th at the Wonder Ballroom with Star-f-er and The Parson Redheads.

Of course, we had 'em first.
