Tortoise Beats the Hare

Next Tuesday at Neumo's, the elder statesmen of post-rock make a stop in Seattle. Formed in Chicago in 1990, Tortoise are by no means new on the scene, but their instrumentals, equal parts jazz and prog, have always garnered them fans of experimental music and varied instrumentation, as well as folks who just like a lovely melody. Be forewarned: this also means the occasional dirty dreadlocked jam band hippie. Check out the above video for a live version of "I Set My Face to the Hillside," from 1998's seminal album TNT.
