This is the stuff that classics are made of. Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes take on rock ‘n’ roll from a different era, back to the basics stylistically. Yet they add that extra amount of sizzle, that extra dash of sass, that pushes things a bit beyond a mere revival. Give a listen to Baby Caught the Bus and soak in all the smokin’ soul and R&B vibes ushered in by ’50s and ’60s Daptone records back in the day, all straight up rock grooves, but there’s a contemporary sultriness that reminds you this is music from here and now. Va-va VOOM.
This is going to be one hell of a fun show. See Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes tonight at The Belmont, 305 W. 6th St. And, to make the evening complete, opening the show is none other than Austin’s own fabulous sweet siren Jazz Mills. Get there early; doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the music starts at 8:30 p.m. Recommended. What a night! And be ready to dance, honey.
