Blitzen Trapper has toured through Montana several times and they always put on a great live show. Formed in 2000, Blitzen Trapper has since released 11 studio albums, several of which earned particularly high praise. 2007’s Wild Mountain Nation received critical acclaim from Pitchfork with them calling the album “a revelation from beginning to end.” Their 2008 release Furr, was ranked No. 13 on Rolling Stone’s Best Albums of 2008.
VII, released in 2013, was hailed by Paste as “Blitzen Trapper’s strongest album to date, with years of musical experimentation having come together in the band’s own mad-scientist brand of cosmic Americana…” Their latest full length studio album, Holy Smoke Future Jokes, came out in 2020. They followed in 2021, releasing demo versions of the album’s songs on Holy Demos Future Demos.
No doubt, they have an impressive studio catalog, but nothing beats Blitzen Trapper live in concert!
