Tomorrow evening (6.28), Alan Sparkhawk’s ‘Tired Eyes’ ensemble takes us out on the weekend as these stalwarts of frayed future harmonics scour the Neil Young catalog and resuscitate all that is immense therein. Alan Sparhawk (Low/Black Eyed Snakes), Rich Mattson (Ol’ Yeller/Northstars), Glen Mattson (Lazer Bear/IROB), and Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run/Jayhawks/Golden Smog). This crew “isn’t just grabbing the AM gold hits from Harvest, but focusing on the genre-defying classic-era Crazy Horse lineup.” They drive home this point by taking their name from one of Young’s darker songs. ‘Heart of Gold,’ this is not.
