White Boys With the Blues. Talk About Cliches.

So part two of the Today Show’s Concert series is here. Meet Two Gallants an arm hair-raising duo from San Francisco, home of the Atlanta Braves. But basically these guys are folk-punk, at least that’s what NME says and you know they don’t lie. They write songs about murders, jail, drinking (they are a perfect drinking band), jail, girls, love lost, crows, the sad state of affairs, grain, lazy ass white people, Madonna, cops, trains, drinking, and essentially all blues clichés. And while both albums are recommended, the question is whether they can pull it off live. Test aced. Their guitarist finger picks for fuck’s sake while their drummer pounds the skins like some Iggy Pop on David Bowie action. The songs were usually jammed out a bit too. Actually I can’t describe them live at all because I was pretty caught up in the experience instead of writing down notes. All I can say is go see this band if you have the chance.

And now here is a link to their website, which actually has my two favorite songs from each album. The only other song I say look for is “Steady Rollin” which is a video that is on there website. So check it out amigos.
