05. SAUNA FAREWELL SHOW @ LARIMER LOUNGE | FRI, 8/17 Sauna played its first show just before Christmas in 2010 opening for Lust-Cats of the Gutters. At that time, guitarist C.J. Macleod, bassist Ethan Hill, drummer Samantha Davis and lead vocalist Molly Bartlett were juniors in high school. Since then, Sauna has ventured out on three tours out west, issued a handful of releases and opened for a ton of national acts, including the B-52s last year at the Ogden. As a result, the outfit has earned widespread acclaim across the scene. Sauna is playing its last show tonight for at least a while as its members head in different directions and go off to college.
