Nate yanked me out of a scotch induced stupor to see this band: Mezcal Brothers
Rockabilly for 4 bucks in Manhattan..who woulda thunk it?
Nice stuff from the quartet, bands like the Blasters and the Stray Cats were the obvious influences. The Mezcal Bros struck me as a band ready to play that theme bar in Pulp Fiction: their surfaces were tweaked, everything from clothing to vintage microphones. The band had a self aware post modern edge that did not get in the way of a good time. A bar band playing jangily smooth edged rockabilly that just kept playing without tiring...us or them.
Alas, continued scotch lubrication prevented the snagging of the band poster on the way out...and my daughter beat me home!
