Slobberbone and Glossary at 400 Bar
The Austin roots-rock/country band Slobberbone caught national buzz based on its ripping live shows; its South By Southwest appearances are legendary. The band broke up in 2004 when bassist Brian Lane moved to Florida, while the other three members went on to form The Drams, in which main songwriter Brent Best was freed by the power-pop makeover to explore his Beatles and ELO tendencies with abandon. The results ranged from revelatory to embarrassing. But the original Slobberbone quartet has reunited for occasional shows and brief tours, segueing easily back into the raucous blend of Replacements-meets-Uncle Tupelo rock it's mastered.
