HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist The Radiators

  • The Radiators

After 33 years—and albums for labels both big and small—the Allman Brothers-influenced, New Orleans-based jam-rock band The Radiators continues to draw massive crowds of fevered dancers. The group has trended toward soulful roots-rock in recent years, and the material on its records (like 2006’s Dreaming Out Loud) could have been created by a trad-rock-manufacturing computer program, but the records aren’t nearly as important as the blazing, energetic, marathon live shows anyway. The band announced its pending retirement at the end of 2010—though, befitting its live reputation, it’ll be riding the groove of this farewell tour well into 2011.
