Big John Bates has been concocting his hellfire remedies for the past decade. After playing over 1000 shows in 17 countries around the world for tens of thousands of fans this endorsed Gretsch-slinger has hooked up with a menacing new band. It features Brandy Bones (endorsed by Hofner upright bass and sharing lead vocals) and T-Hag powering the machine on the drums. They’ve been digging up the dark roots of Americana and hammering them with garage punk blues, laying down 10 wicked tracks for the new Battered Bones album – and they’re heading out on the “Hellfire Remedy Tour” in October 2011.
Joining the bill is:
The Married Singlemen
Forever Dead
Doors at 10pm, $10, 19+
