THE LONESOME HEROES

Check out this weeks Austin Sound Sound off about us.... http://www.austinsound.net/2009/02/23/sound-off-the-lonesome-heroes/ Sound Off: The Lonesome Heroes» Few young artists have done as much to promote the local music scene as the Lonesome Hereos, who started up the Wednesday alt. country nights at the Hole in the Wall. Like the lineups that founders Rich Russell and Landry McMeans booked, the Heroes’ music has an eclectic roots range. There are touches of cosmic country and Sweetheart of the Rodeo in their psychedelic tinged, restless country tunes, but the real draw of the Heroes is excellent melding of Russell and McMeans in spirit and sound. McMeans dulcet twang and expansive dobro, and Russells’ more grounded drawl and guitar combine for a mesmerizing and beautiful exchange, while their songs evoke the open west Texas expanse of road and possibilities. With their latest album, Crooked Highway, they have assembled a stellar band of local luminaries, and you can see the songs come alive twice this week. The Lonesome Heroes play the Hole in the Wall this Wednesday with Tiny Tin Hearts and the Axons, and then will be dropping into Red River on Thursday, February 26 with Aimee Bobruk , Lee Barber, and Danny Malone for a show at Club DeVille.
