Tonight! Thee Headliners CD Release Show

Lord knows how many bills Thee Headliners have played on, but this time—finally—they are indeed headlining. And deservedly so: They're celebrating the release of their sloppy, soulful second record, Rain & Blood. The record dredges up the darkest corners of American music, coming up with something that I could call gothi-blues-abilly but won't, because that would sound ridiculous. Still, when you've got a punk mentality mining the depths of garage, country, and R&B with very blunt instruments, it becomes clear how all these different musical genres are intertwined. It also becomes clear that overthinking this music is a total waste of time. How 'bout cracking a beer and kicking the dirt instead?
LISTEN:
