This Charleston quintet plays a rowdy, earthy style of country-folk that they liken to “drunken gypsy sex” and “soulful drug-laced Americana.” What’s most promising — if not fully fleshed out yet — about the Tinfoil are the girl-boy vocals of Lily Slay and Mackie Bones.
Slay, in particular, has a husky-sexy voice well-suited to the band’s chosen style, which taps into that low-country sweat-boogie thing. They’re still rough around the edges, though, in that some songs are clearly inferior to others. But it’s early days and the promise feels legit.
$6. With locals Old Milwaukee (celebrating an EP release), Sinners & Saints and Buck Mountain Stranglers. The Milestone.
