Saturday Matinee – The Dirtbombs, Al Green & The Hard Times, The Chase Walker Band and Chicago Blues Union

Motor City afropunk:
“Since the band’s inception in 1992 The Dirtbombs have won over dozens of fans. In more recent years, they’ve been named Spin magazine’s #10 best live band in the world.” – YouTube description (2009)

Al Green & The Hard Times (aka Piper & The Hard Times) mixes roots rock, blues and soul performed by “pro-level players covering bass, guitar, keyboard/organ, and horns for a big rootsy vibe,” and fronted by Al “Piper” Green on vocals.

The Chase Walker Band is a blues roots rock and soul band from Riverside, California.  Despite his young age (26 as of this posting) Walker has already attracted the attention of many in the industry, and he’s going places.

Straight outta Hungary: Chicago Blues Union is a project of T. Rogers & Jenő Fekete as a tribute to the 50’s and 60’s Chicago electric blues scene. ( I couldn’t find much solid information about them, other than that Fekete is on guitar and vocals.)

The Labor Day weekend is upon us, so do Labor Day things on Labor Day. Tomorrow we’ll be attending to our regular duties on the porch, watching the world go fry. See you then.
