One local band
that reminds me of an Austin summer is the
Sweet Nuthin'. Hot, sweaty, fun, loud,
dirty, and gritty. At their raucous
EP release show a number
of weeks back, the band had fans jumping, dancing, and
singing along with their Stones groove meets Strokes swagger
tunes. This month the young quartet is hardly resting on
their laurels as they have a
residency at Cheer Up Charlie's, which
sees them playing every Wednesday in June with a variety of
special guests. You can't go wrong whichever Wednesday you
choose, but my pick is for June 20 when they team up with
Nic Armstrong.
Despite all the
great new music I've listened to in recent weeks, a certain track has me constantly hitting the repeat button,
and it's only an unreleased demo. It's called
Air Tight, and it's by my Dallas
favorites, the
Blurries. It apparently was
originally written for Randy Reynolds (of
No
Future and formerly of
Leatherbag), but you can hear the Blurries
signature furious stomp and jangle on their performance of
the tune. Pardon the song title pun, but this band's chops
are well ... air tight. If I ever get to hear this song
performed live, that would be the icing on the cake for me.
