One of the first ever Alt Country band’s & Bloodshot Records kingpins The Waco Brothers were here in the late 90’s, for a show we put on at Live Theatre. They havn’t been back since…until now……. Both J’Hot Club & Cluny are really honoured to have them here after so long .
” Clash meets Cash ”
The Waco Brothers got together in Chicago in the mid-90s; battle weary punk musicians who wanted nothing more than to play classic country covers for free beer in their adopted home city. Their residencies at bars like the Wrigleyville Tap and Augenblick became legendary for the sheer volume, speed and energy they brought to this task
After an early & particularly deranged appearance at SXSW Rolling Stone dubbed the Wacos “Clash meets Cash” and they unleashed a fistful of ferocious albums and endlessly entertaining live gigs that defined the Insurgent Country movement.
Every night is still Friday night for the WACO BROTHERS!
