It took me a minute to get up to speed (or perhaps slow down a bit) with Holly Golightly and the Broke Offs last night at the Bug Jar. The Broke Offs were really more of a Broke Off; one dude on a completely foot-driven drum set and guitar, which added slippery and reverberated atmosphere to Golightly's country and wisteria sound. The songs were simple, thoughtful, fragile. I think i might have heard a Howlin' Wolf cover.

El Destructo & The White Rose Simply get better every time i hear them. Loose never sounded so tight...
