The Insomniacs: late addition to Little Willie's half priced wine night!


By bohicks - Posted on 17 June 2010

Little Willie's will have even more to offer than usual this Thursday. Our normal Thursday evening there involves drinking enough half priced wine to make Dionysus blush. This week will feature the Portland, OR-based band "The Insomniacs." These guys offer an old school, soulful sound that harkens back to a bygone era. A description of the band on their label's page gives nuggets such as this:

 "They play vintage instruments and channel a blues style from the 1950s, but there is a distinct new cyberspace bent to Delta Groove’s blues award winning quartet, The Insomniacs. These musicians who have quickly jumped into the top tier of clubs tour endless highways in a beat up van, babying a gut-string upright, the 1951 Fender “Nocaster” guitar, the 1964 Framus Star Bass and their Magnatone and Ampeg tube amps."

Upon listing to these guys it's easy to to hear that these songs would not mesh well with modern instruments. This will be one of the most exciting half priced wine nights you'll see for awhile. For more info on these guys check it out here.
