Two bands I can’t get enough of lately (neither of which is particularly new). First, Old 97‘s. I’ve wanted to see this band live for a very long time and it looks like I’ll finally get the chance when they come through Phoenix in June. Here they are performing “Time Bomb” for KEXP:

Here is their video for “Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving” from the band’s 2010 album The Grand Theatre, Volume One:

Here is Lucero’s Ben Nichols performing his track “Last Pale Light In The West” from his EP of the same name inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s powerful novel Blood Meridian:
