Clearly the most enigmatic of Bloodshots bands, Rex Hobart & the Misery Boys are the current soundtrack to the age old conundrum boy plus girl. Until he was with Bloodshot, Rex led one of the most popular hardcore/math rock bands in the KC area. You would never know it from his serious honky tonk chops. Still, you gotta give Rex his props for being punk as fuck. He used to drive a car with crushed mirrors on the hood and a functioning gas tank in the front seat. The rest of the band are real sharp dressers and can play the shit out of their instruments. Their songs are right out of the Buck songbook, and will break your heart...if you have one. They're decidedly reverent, but definitely not an aping museum piece, either. You have not heard straight up honky tonk done like this in decades. We're serious.
