| The Waco Brothers Enjoying a pint from the Bloodshot Records website http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/ |
According to the Events Calendar, the fabulous Waco Brothers are coming to the prairie capital, playing Bar None (427 E. Monroe in Springfield; Ph: 217-523-3050).
Tom Irwin has a great write-up on the band in the Illinois Times, which includes this statement:
"The band could be considered a collective as each member performs in several different groups and participates in other outside endeavors. The term fits as well into their revolutionary approach to life and culture, of using the sense of art as more than expression of emotion, reaching beyond to a way of being that considers living a springboard for enrichment of the soul and the betterment of the planet. Song subjects of the Waco Brothers give away this sentiment with objects of their attention including right-wing radicals, the Bushes, commercial music radio and other favorite notions sure to delight hardcore punkers and left-leaners everywhere. Politely they infuse this with danceable rock to make it palatable to those who care not for the lyrical content, but come to boogie-woogie."
-Tom Irwin from the January 20 - 26 edition of the Illinois Times
Go check them out this Saturday and wish the Lady of the Manor a "Happy Birthday" while you're at it.
Last night was a blast. Big thanks to the Waco Brothers who graced us with great tunes throughout the night and also to our friends who came out and helped us shake it down.
