Incoming: Throw Rag at the Jackpot, August 21
Debauched purveyors of rock ‘n’ roll hailing from the Salton Sea, Throw Rag are one of those bands I keep missing by just that much. They opened for Gogol Bordello, and we showed up right as the were finishing their last song. Every night they ever played the Replay? I had to work. Then, for years—nothing. Fucking. No. Thing.
They toured sporadically, but never came through Lawrence. No music, no nothing. I figured there would have been a pretty decent tour when they released 2nd Place a year or two ago, but nada, zip, zilch. Now, out of nowhere, they’re doing a midwest tour and they might be putting out some new tunes?!?!
Whatever. I should just be thankful.
Throw Rag plays the Jackpot Music Hall in Lawrence on Friday, August 21 with the Big Iron and the Spook Lights. Bring your liver, and possibly a spare.
