NIGHTLIGHT Bar & Club
Thurs 12/10 Spider Bags / John Wesley Coleman (member of Golden Boys) / Blag'ard / Psychonaut (CH)
Spider Bags and John Wesley Coleman are here on a week-long tour moving east from Austin.
Spider Bags - continuing the tradition of the finest American blues players with straightforward guitar, bass, drums and vocals in songs telling it like it is: fucked up!
John Wesley Coleman - fuzzed truth singer-songwriter, kindred spirit of Spider Bags. Member of Golden Boys out on his own. On tour celebrating the release of his new lp on Certified PR Records!
Blag'ard - melodic punk from two awesome, weird dudes who've kept it real all these years. Guitar, drums and vocals.
Psychonaut - Guitar, bass and drum trio from Chapel Hill. I hate to quote myspace, but I love their self-description: they're "a black hole sucking all the hate and uglyness from your every day world then exploding with originality and energy far past the average mind can understand."
