Everytime I mention the Heartless Bastards to someone, I can't figure out if I like the music more, or if I just saying their name out loud. But then I throw the record on and I realize that even though I do enjoy saying their name more than many bands, it's the music that does it for me. Singer-Songwriter Erika Wennerstrom is one of the few female artists who can actually capture my attention for extended periods of time. Her smokey low-toned vocals make me swoon as the bass lines of Mike Lamping provide a subtle undertone that fits in exceptionally well. A few tracks off their new album "All This Time" saw extended bouts of the repeat button via my ipod, and that just doesn't happen very often.
The Heartless Bastards play the 400 Bar tonight in Minneapolis. Tickets are $12 - this one will sell out folks, so come early. 8pm doors.
