Those Darlins

We went to Southpaw in Brooklyn on Friday to catch Those Darlins. This performance of "Wild One" was from their last Southpaw show, about a year ago. (PS: Southpaw is a great venue. I will live there now.) This song's been stuck in my head for three days. 

Based on this single, I'd expected a lot more country, but got quite a bit of rock n' roll—the kind where the ukelele player spits bourbon into the crowd. Despite some speed bumps onstage (broken bass string, handled gracefully; sound issues with uke, handled not-so-gracefully), the show was a good time. There was a man in a chicken suit running about after "The Whole Damn Thing" (a song about being drunk and eating an entire chicken—"not just a leg, not just a wing"), and we saw the premier of their video for "Red Light Love," which was animated by one of the band members.

Many of their songs follow a similar vibe to this one, but the 3 girls have very different (great) voices that can be heard individually on various tracks. And now I sorta wanna buy an electric guitar...
