Bands who never once tried to be respectable age better than bands who did, and this Nashville trio has spent fifteen years being cheerfully disreputable — boogie rock, country shuffles, songs about drinking and getting by, played well enough that the joke never becomes the ceiling. They came out of a garage scene and drifted steadily toward honky-tonk without ever announcing a change. The live show is loose in a way that reads as sloppy for about two songs and then obviously is not. Highland Park's upstairs hall, wood floor, no seats, a Friday night. Music at 8:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56, first of two. Bands like this build an audience one bar at a time over a decade, and the people in the room have usually been coming since something much smaller.
