Riverboat Gamblers / Only Crime / Los Dryheavers / Wires of Fire

From the Gamblers' blog on MySpace (yeah, we know there are spelling errors, Akeelah): "We are out traveling the old west, wearing gun belts, listening to Ennio Morricone. Its like a Spagetti western out here. Cussing like we were Al Swearangin."

The Riverboat Gamblers: broken teeth, lacerated body parts and thousands of dollars in medical bills. Denton's band has cultivated a fanatical and even somewhat celebrity following with their rowdy energetic live shows, which have led to the aforementioned medical debt as well as support slots on tours with Flogging Molly, Hot Water Music, Burning Brides and MC5.

Rock, punk, pop, garage, whatever you want to call it, is all swirled into an intense ball or thermonuclear energy ready to explode. Whenever the Gamblers take the stage, make sure you have a blast shield.
