"Although your post-Korean barbecue belches may taste divine to you, I absolutely guarantee they will smell like a hot landfill to everybody else, including your girlfriend/boyfriend, fellow barbecue-eaters, the guy next to you on the subway, and anybody else within a ten-foot radius of your mouth."

The Wilders plus The Crooked Jades
Wed. March 9 at 8pm Tickets $8 adv./$10 door SEATED CONCERT - All AGES
THE WILDERS ARE THE MISWEST'S RAGING HONKY-TONKIN' STRING BAND ANSWER TO THE WAYBACKS. The Wilders, according to Nate Lipkins, writer for Seattle's Drunk By Noon: "This Kansas City quartet live up to the fiercer definition of their moniker. They play like the barn is on fire, the horses are gone, and they don't give a damn. With fiddle, banjo, Dobro, mandolin, guitars, and bass, they breathe fiery life into the songs of the Louvin Brothers, Monroe Brothers, Maddox Brothers & Rose, and, of course, the Stanley Brothers--hell, nearly every set of brothers except the Smothers--played like a high-wire family act. The Wilders aren't related, but if their playing is any indication, I bet they fight like they are." www.wilderscountry.com/ The Crooked Jades "Old-time string music that might appeal as much to the pierced generation as to their great grandparents, the Crooked Jades are a band of West Coast pickers with equal parts attitude and respect. They transform a form of music that thrives on energy by replacing the coal with musical nukes, along the way evoking the music's original purpose by making the listener want to get up and dance." Chicago Tribune, "Best CDs of 2002" Dave Royko. www.crookedjades.com
