23-09-07 | Biltmore Cabaret | Izzy Cenedese, MidMay, Goat String Orchestra, Exit Strategy

The opening offering this Friday night at The Wise is a favorite of mine, the always killer WAR FOR YOUR MONEY and their deliciously sludgy psych/hard rock. The drum-bass combo here gets me moving like a few others. Thick and funky bass riffs living in …
