Last Call Brawlers
|
"Five-time Tammy Award winners the Last Call Brawlers are pounding the local music scene again in their own special way, fusing fast and snotty punk, ska, rockabilly, folk, blues and good song-writing into their own brand of American rock ‘n’ roll on their latest release, “The Pressures of Living, the Darkness of Dying.”
Around since 1999, the band now qualifies as ‘vintage.’ The lineup features Marty Muerto on vocals and harmonic, Eric Eulberg on base and backing vocals, Justin Valdez on guitars, mandolin, and backing vocals, and Joel “Pappa Bear” Dunst on drums and vocals. The group has steadily moved its musical compass to newer settings, adding to the rockabilly of their ‘01 release “Huffin and Puffin” by embracing punk on their self-titled 2003 release, and picking up the speed on in 2008 with “Pointing Fingers.” After hitting the hot sauce and mixing up their style on “Last Call Brawlers – with Rice and Beans on the Side,” a six-song EP released in 2009 with local and multi-talented musician Gary Mackender on accordion, LCB is releasing their latest on Saturday, May 5 at Surly Wench Pub along with special guests The Besmirchers and The Mission Creeps. This ten-track release features songs about fighting Mexican miners (Los Mineros), breaking up (Timeage), and loss (1/20). There is punk here, songs that sound almost ‘Poguesque’ and break your heart. Listen to Six String Rhythm, and see if you agree that music takes the pressures of life and eases them, and makes dying, well makes it less of a career option for all of us. The musicianship is first-rate and delivered with feeling. At times the band launches into group vocals that will raise the hair on the back of the neck. In the end, this is American music, and damn good American music at that." --Zocalo Magazine |
