Liquor's his lover

Last night I went over to Pressed. Soundman , amp guru and Manpower bassist Slo' Tom has a country side (you may recall his work with The Horseshit Heroes), and is playing a residency at Pressed every Thursday in February, coinciding with the release of his new album. His backing band this time around is The Handsome Devils. The songs as usual about broken hearts, drinking, cruddy cars, drinking, being locked out of the house and drinking. Also a cover of Crazy Train. Since he was the only act on, I'll just toss a bunch of pictures up now.

Singalong action with bassist Steve Martin and Slo' Tom!
