04-07 Heartless Bastards @ Mercury (4)



Judging by this show it seems that one of the best Soul-Garage Rock bands in the country is just getting better. The touring the band's been doing is paying off because all three members are visibly more confident at their instruments and it comes through in their sound. Ericka’s sultry vocals are rawer filled with a deep sense of longing & determination while the rhythm section just crushes - especially the drums. Tonight's set focused mostly on the band's unreleased new material with a few from their shamefully slept-on classic debut "Stairs & Elevators" mixed in. The new songs are just incredible - I don't know the names but there's one in particular where Erika starts of on the electric piano then switches to guitar that just blew the crowd away.

BTW, At this point isn't it time for some kind "Fat Possum" tour? I mean look at all the amazing rock bands this label has (the Black Keys, Heartless Bastards, We Are Wolves, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, Fiery Furnaces, etc.) plus add in the classic Delta Blues artists & you could have a festival. Why not?
