Coming Attractions: Two Gallants

Two Gallants, the San Francisco duo bring their brand of twangy alt. country rock to L.A. tomorrow night. They're opening for Les Claypool at the Henry Fonda and it's sort of a shame they aren't doing a second night in town with headlining duties. They're latest record, The Scenery of Farewell just came out earlier this month on Saddle Creek. Hopefully when they're done with this opportunity to play with Claypool they will come back around to do some smaller shows and be able to showcase more of their material. You gotta check this song out... it's called "Las Cruces Jail" and it displays their dynamic song structures and urgent vocal lines. It takes a melody you've heard a million times and somehow makes it more interesting than any other time you've heard it. The fact that this band is on Saddle Creek and aren't from Omaha says they're something special. Check out their MySpace for some more songs and tour dates.
