Skeleton Key's music takes a knack for winsome melody, an overwhelming rhythmic undertow, and a barbed-wire necklace of junkyard percussion and duct tapes it into a clanky yet soulful machine. Featuring ex-members of Burning Lesbian, Downside Special are the fabulous Eckles Twins. The In-Sect from Athens, Ohio sounds like the Sacred Rats meet Iggy Pop and Elvis. Sixties rockabilly on crystal meth. For the second set, the Berliner will be joined by a bevy of Chicagoans, as of yet undisclosed.
Nobody is a blend of accoustic guitar and violin with beautiful two part harmony and witty lyrics.
Perfect for sittin' on the front porch and sippin' some mint juleps. Really, really nice. Blue Rags debut at the Empty Bottle and play their version of ragtime in the nineties. Mount Pilot bring on their toe tappin', beer swillin', good ole' bluegrass that well have you movin' before you realize it. This is going to be a wonderful evening of ecclectic American roots music, ideal for an early spring Thursday evening.
