More jams from Tennessee this week, as Those Darlins stop by Le Poisson Rouge Thursday, June 16.
Some fans may have crossed the Hudson last Saturday as Jessi, Nikki, and Kelley Darlin, along with drummer Linwood Regensburg, rocked Maxwell’s in Hoboken. Others possibly bellied-up to the Big Apple BBQ Block Party on Sunday and caught Those Darlins play to a shuffling afternoon crowd. The quartet looks to make it three successful sets in less than week, opening this time for Best Coast.
Buoyed by several years of buzzing live performances and recent praise of their second record, Screws Get Loose, Those Darlins now stand out among the throng of Tennessee country rock and cowpunk acts. The band currently resides in Murfreesboro, just outside of Nashville.
Screws Get Loose energetically skates the historic and regional line between rock and country. All four members trade vocals on cuts ranging from mischievous to melancholy. “Be Your Bro,” “Hives” and “Fatty Needs a Fix” demonstrates the group’s subversive pop acumen, while “BUMD” shows a heavier and “Waste Away” a more sullen quality.
Expect Those Darlins to continue a week of great country rock at Le Poisson Rouge in a show to benefit Planned Parenthood NYC.
