No, this isn't about Sarah and Todd firing the guy who wouldn't fire her ex-brother-in-law who wasn't a very nice guy himself who....STOP! We saw the Heartless Bastards, a power blues/rock trio from Ohio, opening for Lucinda Williams at the Calvin Theater in Northampton, MA with George and Trish (George and Trish were with us, not up on the stage with those Heartless Bastards!). See, I get to say Heartless Bastards endlessly!ANYWAY, the reason for this nonsense is that G-man discovered their music about six months ago and I found myself frequently asking who he was listening to. We (Trish, George, Reet and I) had paid scant attention to them as that opening act at the Calvin, treating them as typical concert fill before the main act, amusing us over the din of patrons coming and going.
Well, G-man has a ticket to see them tonight in Brooklyn at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (last night, they were at the Bowery Ballroom). We await his report. Per this week's New Yorker, "Erika Wennerstrom, a petite woman with a cavernous voice, leads this high-voltage trio from Cincinnati in overpowering blues-rock originals. They're touring with the up-and-coming folk-blues rocker Langehorne Slim."
