Notes:
This was the longer of the DLO3's sets at Space, and the slightly better recording due to my
proximity to the stage. There's still some room sound, though, because while I was close to
the stage, I was also on the side of it while the relatively small "stacks" that Space has
are mounted above and just in front of the stage. Still, Josh's guitar is clear, Sam's drums
are snappy, and Delvon's Leslie is so close to pumping the keys straight at my mics, albeit
from a little farther away. The crowd was really low-key the whole night, but especially
so for the late set, which I found surprising, but the trio didn't seem to mind in the least.

Josh Perdue and Same Groveman are the latest newcomers to the DLO3. According to Delvon, Josh
joined in October 2022 after he met him playing at a colleague's gig. He found Sam's drumming
videos on TikTok and reached out to him from there. This was probably sometime around June,
as their most recent drummer, Ehsaaan Karimi, was still drumming with them in early June, while
Sam's Facebook indicates that his first DLO3 gig was on June 24th in Fort Collins, CO. I was
impressed by both of them, but Sam's chops stood out just a little bit more to me.
