Heartless Bastards to Play ACL

Austin City Limits released their lineup the other day, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Black Keys' labelmates and Cincinnati based band The Heartless Bastards on the list. It seems as if the Fat Possum/Ohio indie connection has gotten a lot of well-deserved hype lately. They had a song featured on the Black Snake Moan Soundtrack and now a tour opening for The Hold Steady. The best thing about ACL is that I don't have to be jealous of not getting to see it - you can usually catch most of the performances on TV. Check out the HB website for streams of their latest record, All This Time.
