The Southern Belles, Dalton Dash, LITZ @ The Broadberry – $10 in advance/$12 day of show (order tickets HERE)
There’s something beautiful about the way the Belles just keep on truckin’, year after year. This Southern-fried, vaguely jammed-out goodtime-party blues machine is always the perfect medicine when you’ve got too many troubles and you just need to push them all out of your mind and dance all night. They’ve had a lineup shakeup in recent months, but that’s in no way slowed them down, and now they’re back with a brand new album, In The Middle Of The Night. Having funded the album through the Pledge Music crowdfunding site, they’ve been in the public eye promoting this one for months now. Despite that fact, we still haven’t heard a single note from its soon-to-be-unleashed grooves.
But that’s OK, right? We all know what we’re getting with The Southern Belles. 2015’s Close To Sunrise was a strong progression from the band’s 2012 debut LP, Sharp As A Knife. And now, they’re taking this album to the next level with their first vinyl release–a real prestige move in these days where the Record Store Day-fueled saturation of pressing plants makes vinyl prohibitively slow and expensive for most DIY bands. With the sounds being embargoed from the internet as yet, the first taste of the brand new LP is gonna be available to you live on Saturday night at the Broadberry. And then you’ll pick up an LP from the merch table, carry it out to your car so it doesn’t get messed up while you dance, and throw it on first thing in the morning when you’re starting to figure out brunch. Sounds perfect if you ask me.
