On Friday, Cleveland’s Mr. Gnome rolled their two-person rock n’ roll freight train through the Firebird. Serious and incredibly dynamic, the duo of Nicole Barille and Sam Meister crafted one of the most arresting sets I’ve seen this year. Go, with haste, to their online store and buy the new album, Heart of a Dark Star, or anything else they’ve ever made or recorded.

Support for the show came from Whoa Thunder (STL) and Young Tongue (ATX):
