He's from Chicago originally, which is also where Jeff Tweedy is from, but then Wilco always sounded like a River City band. JIM ROLL: With a label whose roster boasts Stephen Bruton, Jon Dee Graham, and Billy Joe Shaver (New West), a new album produced by onetime local/forever Silo Walter Salas-Humara (Lunette), and local management, Nashville's Jim Roll might as well live in Austin. The Crumbs' overdriven songs have the take-no-prisoners approach of the Stooges and the MC5, but there's also a hint of deep fried rockabilly thrown in to clarify the band's position relative to the Mason-Dixon line. THE CRUMBS: Hailing from Miami, this trio adds a boozed-up skronky sheen to the traditional Lookout! Records pop-punk canon. The album is Dead Letter Chorus, the label is Beggars Banquet. "A less derivative take on the hardcore than Idlewild," says Select "Distorted pop chuggery," says Kerrang "Exuberant soaring grunge-pop," says Time Out London. LLAMA FARMERS: That the NME has placed this band on the Keneckie-Ash continuum suggests they are loud, occasionally melodic, and obviously young. Their harmonies are as impeccable as their credentials Price was one of the Lickettes with Dan Hicks, and O'Connell vocalized with Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel. (Emo's, 8pm) - Raoul HernandezĮTHYL & METHYL: Better known as Maryann Price and Chris O'Connell, this Catfish Records duo jumps easily between cocktail country, bluesy bluegrass, and jazzy swing. One spin of this NYC foursome's 7-inch, and you'll be immediately depressed if you don't live within a cab ride of CBGB's. THE MOONEY SUZUKI: The best thing about Estrus bands is a contemporary punk fury that would sound right at home on Nuggets. Their mellow arrangements, swell melodies, and sweet harmonies would color Andy Partridge, and maybe Todd Rundgren, proud. (Cactus Cafe, 8pm) - Michael BertinĭARYLL-ANN: This Amsterdam-based quintet trades in slightly off-kilter psych-pop tunes reminiscent of Skylarking-era XTC. Add arrangements that cover the entire mini-gamut of the Americana sub-genre.

TIM EASTON: Easton may be known to some as the frontman for Columbus, Ohio's Haynes Boys, but on his solo albums he really works the whole Townes Van Zandt and John Prine storyteller vibe to full effect.
