Tonight, Tilts -- the band fronted by Andrew Elstner of Riddle of Steel and featuring ex-Shame Club members Ken McCray and Andy White -- is playing its first show at the Firebird. Caporetto and Engine Orchestra are also on the bill. The band's MySpace describes its sound like this:
The Immigrant Song meets Dukes of Hazard while listening to Brown Sugar in the General Lee somewhere in the year 1984. So sexy.
Judging by the below MP3s, Tilts loves Van Halen ("It Helps") and Queens of the Stone
Though it has been six weeks since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the situation remains dire, as rescue and recovery workers struggle to provide the most basic of assistance and services. To meet this need, individuals, organizations and corporations continue to dig deep to help fill the gaps in Haiti's ravaged infrastructure.
Rising to the challenge locally is the Tom Schlafly and his Saint Louis Brewery, with a Wednesday, February 24 event, A Taste Of Haiti.
