Ominous or Awesome?

Alright collective DIT readers, Friday night there is a double-header at Louie’s of the  warbled, rockabilly-indie two step variety.

Delilah Dewylde and her dusty-trail Lost Boys, in town from Saugatuck, are going to beat listeners blue with their toe-thumping bass-line paired with the whiskey sour twang of the southern-styled songstress’ voice. While predictable in song style, most often opening up with Ms. Dewylde’s “I’m the boss around here” vocals– and strung together with a slapping on her coffin-sized upright bass, the band’s slightly-crooked eyebrow, black suits and red-dress attitude are plenty to get the neck swaying and the leg bouncing.

Followed by  guitarist Lee Harvey’s Dick Dale styled, motorized guitar solos that could have revved out of a pick-up truck, listeners will find themselves  right at home in the corners of the bar waiting for a fight to break out or the hoots to holler as if it was 110 degrees outside and they were in some bar off the side of Highway 61.

The band will also have “Delilah Wylde Berry Wheat” beer from Saugatuck Brewing Co. available for sale, so give it a taste if you want a stumble to your two-step Friday night.

For those that are interested in Son Drop and didn’t read last week’s article featuring their questionable appearance, expect some folk-inspired indie psychedelia.

The real story is that James Duke, founder and “brain-trust” of the group, is coming in town from Minneapolis for the show, and is more or less responsible for the one-night resurrection.

Having “not played full bando since February”  or “Boiling Pot Festival 2011” (he can’t quite remember which), Duke had a few things to say about the first set the band has played together in almost a year:

“Son Drop has some new songs and some old ones. Jeremy Ruggles (bandmate) is in Mexico for this show, so the fabulous Selner Bros Band will be rounding out the set.”
