This might be one of those “TRUST DAN” events. The true greatness of the Bottle Rockets just hasn’t ever materialized outside of the small circle of alt-country Bloodshot Records posse. You need to come to see this band. It will be as big a party as The Hold Steady was last June. We’ve announced this so early so that you’ll do your homework and get as excited as we are!
DSP is insanely excited to present The Bottle Rockets on Friday, June 18th at Castaways. The band that started in the same scene as Uncle Tupelo and later Son Volt and Wilco have perservered and will now grace Ithaca for the first time. Don’t miss out… This will be THE PARTY OF THE YEAR!
MORE ON THE BAND:
In a country where interstates don’t take you to new places, but to the same places, where everywhere you go you’ve already been or you’ve just left, The Bottle Rockets’ new album absolutely nails a sound and a vibe with a palpable sense of place. Lean Forward is suffused with the determination and resilience of their distinctly midwestern roots; theirs is a celebration of pragmatism and tempered optimism, not the delusions and exhortations of glassy eyed zealots—they aren’t going to fall for that. Oh, it’s a flat out, smoking rock record, too.
There is a $1.50 ticket processing fee per ticket purchased.
