Heartless Bastards-Easter show in Sac

The Heartless Bastards are truly a merciless musical bunch. "I'm gonna see what tomorrow brings/ I'm gonna take it to the world outside" invokes vocalist Erika Wennerstrom in "Be so happy." The Bastards have done just that in the last year. In a time when folk rock is coming on strong, the Bastards stand apart with their raw blues-based rock that naturally spills over to the folk genre. The band have relentlessly toured and taken strong it to the people with each live opportunity. 
The mega-talented Wennerstrom fronts the band, writes most of the music and sings with ample soul, power and conviction. Her songwriting keeps getting better with each album and the band's most recent release "Arrow" is a fine example of this.
The thunderous backline of drummer Dave Colvin and bassist Jesse Ebaugh form the rhythm core of the band.. Many of the groups' songs begin as these wonderful, sometimes dark and bluesy explorations that expand, reshape and take on grander meaning as the band, which also includes guitarist Mark Nathan, who adds excellent leads and rhythm, help her work things out with a healthy dose of cymbal crashes, abrupt changes and driving force .I only say all of this since this will be the fourth time I've seen this band in the last 10 months and I gladly keep coming back for more. Go see this band!
