Austin quartet Heartless Bastards delivered a thundering set Tuesday night at the Firebird.
The Firebird was barely a quarter-full when St. Louis' Tenement Ruth took the stage at 8:30 p.m. A couple dozen people, mostly older males, were scattered along the back wall near the arcade machines and sound board.
While some exceptions could be made for background, I'm willing to bet that for a lot of people, being a fan of Tom Waits from a young age was a lonely feeling.
You've seen it. I've seen it. We've all seen it. The band that employs an entire person just to play maracas. Last night at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room the Jump Starts were having none of that.
