As if finding out that Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys will be touring next year with Hacienda as his backup band wasn’t good enough, apparently their opening act is also pretty kick ass as well. I’d never heard of Those Darlins until seeing the announcement that they would be touring with Auerbach in support of his solo effort.
Seeing as how we’re more or less gay for anything Dan Auerbach does, I clicked on Those Darlins MySpace page and was immediately taken with their unique perspective on country music. Their sound channels the traditional country sound you’d expect to hear at The Grand Ole Opry, but as dig you into the lyrics you’ll feel a punk attitude to go along with it.
Here’s an early taste of a band that’s going to be making some noise in ‘09.
