BETTER THAN EZRA IN THE NEWS
The following links to articles/interviews,
concert reviews, photos/video, and the ubiquitous "other" category have
been collected over the last few months.
Articles/Interviews
This University of Wisconsin Badger Herald reporter mentions the
band and their recent show when detailing the duties of a campus police
officer.
BTE gets a mention in this article on the history of the House of Blues.
Concert Reviews
This a complimentary review of BTE's last gig at Slim in San Francisco
that appeared in the Stanford Daily.
Photos/Video
Here's some photos from BTE's 2001 at Milwaukee's Rave Theater. The
venue is kind enough to put these up on their website (we wish every
venue did that, right?).
This website provides some pictures of a BTE gig from the other side
(i.e., the backstage and technical perspective).
The Firewater Bar & Grill was kind enough to host a bunch of
photos from the recent show in Dallas.
This Duke University student has some decent pics of BTE and
Wilco on his webpage.
Here's some pics from a BTE show at Georgia Tech in September
2003. The supporting act was Bain Mattox. |
