Music Menu / News In Concert: Andy the Doorbum & Holy Ghost Tent Revival (02/12/2010)

Posted By on Fri, Feb 12, 2010 at 8:39 AM

Andy the Doorbum Andy Fenstermaker celebrates five years of official Door Bum-dom this evening, and it is a deserving hallmark indeed. Last year's Art Is Shit blended ATD's briar-patch growl-and-holler into a hooch of illegal substance-fueled swamp rock and twisted hill-folk that careened between the profane and the holy, the deadly serious and the laugh-out-loud hilarious. Every time I play it I'm surprised anew, and when the 25th (!) track rolls around and the choir sweetly laments that "Rock 'n' Roll is dead," you certainly don't feel that way. Because in an era of post-everything hipster stances and multiculti plagiarism, Fenstermaker earns an accolade you just don't hear much anymore: He is an absolute original. With 25 Minutes to Go, Babyshaker and 2013 Wolves. Milestone (John Schacht)

Holy Ghost Tent Revival Stomp your feet and grab a gal. Greensboro's HGTR fuse a rousing rootsy concoction that could be at home at hoedowns, gambling parlors, gin joints, or at revivals. Weaving jug band shenanigans, country, bluegrass, carnival jazz and assorted roots threads, the six-piece group stirs up an American music treat. It's laid-back and raucous, oft within the same song. With And the Moneynotes. The Evening Muse (Samir Shukla)
