Thee Headliners

"This Portland, Ore., garage-folk hybrid trio shuffles up and down the AM radio dial circa 1965, alternating between slightly dissonant snorts of rock, R&B, and country. Their new sophomore LP, Rain & Blood (Starcleaner), is chock-full of left-field hooks and strange energy." – Greg Beets- AUSTIN CHRONICLE THEE HEADLINERS, PURE COUNTRY GOLD, THE FAST TAKERS, RIGHT ON JOHN (Rotture, 315 SE 3rd) Celebrating the release of their sloppy, soulful second record Read more on Last.fm …read full bio
