His three adventurous solo albums on VHF, including his most recent, Kensington Blues, have set a new standard for post-American Primitive style playing."(SXSW)Jack Rose performed a great set at SXSW. His guitar playing is reminiscent of Mississippi John Hurt and other great delta blues musicians. He will be performing at Tonic on Sunday.

Giant Drag @ the Arthur Magazine Party

I wasn't sure what to think when Giant Drag took the stage. But when some of the first words out of Annie the lead singer and guitarist mouth were "This song is called You Fuck like my Dad" I knew that I would like their performance no matter what type of music they played. As it turns out Giant Drag's music is a mix between such 90s alternative bands live Liz Phair and Hole. Annie's dead pan wit and great between song banter makes Giant Drag definitely worth checking out again.
