Something wild and even a little spooky is coming to Alex's Bar, and he comes bearing gifts of lo-fi blues-infused rockabilly. Tav Falco's Panther Burns is one the of original rhythm shakers of the late 1970s rockabilly revival, with members hailing from Memphis to New York and instilling a Hasil Adkins-esque swagger to his rock n' roll songbook. Falco, a fellow Cramps lover will most likely revitalize your faith in sleazy R&B from days of yore, attaching any and every one of his rock, punk, and garage influences along in his music. Tonight's lineup features Death Hymn Number 9, The Green Machines, and Thee Unreels.
