This Weekend: 5/30-6/1

Slim Cessna’s Auto Club
05/31/2008 - TT Bears Place

Yes, it’s time to drink whiskey and dance like a fool. The last time I saw Slim Cessna’s was at the Middle East Upstairs, and it was worth the trip. They have been touring quite a bit, so if you miss them this time, there is always a good chance they’ll be back. Also, if you missed my post about their new CD (released in March) check that out here (mp3s included).

They are playing with The Dirty Truckers, The Wrong Reasons, and the Tony The Booker Orchestra. The Dirty Truckers describe their influences as “Cheap Trick, Steve Earle and the Replacements.” I haven’t seen them live yet, but a statement like that has a lot of living up to do. Here’s hoping. I remember The Wrong Reasons from the last show, however, I don’t actually remember their set. Could it be that I was already too drunk? Impossible. It’s a little dirtier - roots country/hillbilly music with a pseudo-rockabilly feel similar to Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. They were a good match last time, and I’m sure it will work again. I haven’t seen Tony The Booker before, so I’m looking forward to that as well.

Here’s to a good show!
