Music Menu / News George Porter Jr. & Runnin' Pardners, White Hills tonight (3/12/11)

Posted By on Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 8:55 AM

George Porter Jr. & Runnin' Pardners With four decades of performing behind him, Porter’s bass has become a bodily extension, a mutated third arm. Porter was a member of New Orleans funk institution the Meters, a feather alone worthy of legend. But he is also a master bassist who’s lent his thumping funk, jazz and R&B to numerous artists and recordings. Porter is touring some new songs that stack right up there with the musical story of New Orleans of which he is a defining element. $12-$15. Double Door Inn. www.doubledoorinn.com. (Samir Shukla)

White Hills Wielding riffs like brain-mashing cudgels and guitar solos like psychedelic thunderbolts, Dave W. (guitar, vox) and Ego Sensation (bass) are joined by Oneida’s percussion monster Kid Millions again on the band’s latest effort, the EP Stolen Stars Left for No One. Their music locates somewhere between Hawkwind’s space jams, Mudhoney sludge and Sunn0))) drone, but there’s something ineffably uplifting in White Hills’ heavy heavy heaviness. With locals 2013 Wolves and Greevace (featuring members of Drat and Black Lagoon). $7. The Milestone. www.milestoneclub.com. (John Schacht)
