Talk about sevotion! The man formerly known as (smog), now known as Smog, has quite a group of devotees. Though his two-part set at last night’s Lee’s Palace triumph was largely filled with dongs from his new album, A River Ain’t Too Much To Love, there were few complaints rendered from the adoring masses. Mr Smog proved not only that a river ain’t too much, but interest in the Drag City hero’s new album ain’t too little. Most of his first guitar-only set was the first half of the new album, and without drums. Along to absolutely mesmerizing guitar lines from his plaid-shirt wearing guitarist, Smog performed some quick spurts of a Howdy Doody dance and very little talking. (By the end of the concert he did make one remark, citing the quality of his vocals on this occasion.) Part two of the set brought on some quote-unquote hits, like Dongs of Sevotion’s "Dress Sexy at My Funeral" and the Nick Hornby favorite "Cold Blooded Old Times" off of Knock Knock.
