Strange Americans LIVE at The Liberty 8/24

Its the kind of music that the Carhartt-wearing, hard-working, industrial beer-drinking, regular Americans would listen to the ones who could end up on an episode of TVs Dirty Jobs. Its a little raw, a bit loud, unapologetic and honest. Its blue collar rock and roll and its something that Denvers Strange Americans is crafting with both brawn and finesse, like a hot rod mechanic bringing back an old barn find.

In a sense, Strange Americans is rescuing something from the rust pile straight-forward, no frills rock and roll, and a matching aesthetic that is heavy on songwriting and storytelling, but presented with reverb-drenched punch and passion the way The Band or Crazy Horse would have done it.

Strange Americans first began in 2009 through a series of Craigslist ads and mutual acquaintances. The group, which released its much applauded debut full-length A Royal Battle in 2012, released its sophomore album That Kind of Luster in September of 2014 . The ten-song, 45-minute rocker showcases a band that has cultivated an authentic, raucous live show.

The most recent release, Borrow You, Brother recorded with Matt Pence at The Echo Lab in Denton, TX suggests Strange Americans reaching new heights: Their ability to weave new sounds and styles into their established classic, guitar-driven, blue-collar Americana rock speaks to the bands creative strengths. Theyre not going anywhere, nor is the grit and rubble that has defined rock and blues music since their earliest days.
