Magnum/Side Iron

Earlier, Side Iron warmed the place up with a set reminiscent of the Southern rock stylings of Drive-by Truckers and The Hold Steady. Imagine walking into a darkened, semi-dingy bar, sitting down and ordering a whiskey from a bartender who could care less about your problems. Side Iron sounds exactly like the band that should be playing in that bar, invoking nostalgia and colored in the same warm sepia as the Maker’s Mark I prefer. If you’re of like mind, check ’em out Thursday, Feb. 19, at the Pearl Lounge with Or, the Whale.
