Brilliant, stripped-down rock and roll duo meets haunted Detroit country/garage - both Magic Stick faves. Sez no less an authority than Kid Tsunami of THE KILLS: "".....a chain smoking 23 yr old American girl, a 'don't look at me' London boy with a thousand yard stare... The world is on fire right now. They've set it on fire. Maybe they realize it, maybe they don't. Certainly, they don't seem to care. It's loud, offensive, there's a drone, and two beautiful voices, lungs of leather, burning rubber. They do this like they're playing chicken, digging the pedal into the floor board, shooting towards the cliff ... They're obsessed and this obsession's poisoned me. They've got an attitude I've never seen. I want to watch it. And more, I want to want it. I feel anxious. For whatever they are, they're unharnessable. They're out of control, and they're incredible." - With BLANCHE: hauntingly eerie country-garage from Detroit. $10 in advance, $12 day of, doors at 9PM, 18+ welcome with ID."
