Digging Detholz!

You know, the first time I saw local purveyors of wackadoo angular pop-rock, Detholz! it was at last year's equally bonkers Empty Bottle Halloween show. There the band presented themselves as a inspiration seminar-cum-tent revival show, all while playing fantastic, reimagined rock covers. So it was a weird mix of surprise and oh-yeah-that-makes-sense to find out that the band has a evangelical Christian past -- perhaps they took notes on how to get the parishioners rolling.

Any way you cut it, Detholtz! put on a damn fine show. Check them out when they play with fellow Chicagoans Singer and fuzzy psychadelicans Cloudland Canyon at the Empty Bottle on Friday, May 9.

"The stuff I like sounds like life or death," she reasons. And this coming from a woman with a picture of Jimi Hendrix taped to her cello case like he's a saint.
