Normally, I wouldn't point out a feature preview from the Volcano, but the 11/15-21 ish brought up the Lucky Devils show last night in Olympia's famous Fourth Ave. tav--opening for the Boneyard Crawlers.
Someone...Brad Allen, probably, pointed out the LD's bein' "all that embodies the genre" of rockabilly. In a tuff town, where a dozen candidate bands can swarm the Swiss for a car club shindig, the Lucky Devils may have found an receptive audience for their bemused, full americana-tinged songs about ridin' in the pohlease wagon and more unsavory topics. As our own Spike Hammer is personal handler to 'Miss Kitty', the band's lead foil, I think it appropo to mention the Lucky Devils upswing---and suggest freaking showing up next time they play the Java Jive, Hell's Kitchen...or the 4th Ave.
Thanks to Spike for arranging a Miss Kitty autograph and a way to escape with my scawny hippie ass intact.....
