Usually when I see the Auto Club I manage to arrive to late to see their opening act (the exception was a couple of years ago at the Dominion, when I managed to arrive in time to see Dry River Caravan). No problem this time around, and a good thing too since The Sterling Sisters are a near-perfect opener. They have an excellent frontman in George Cessna - and boy does he look and sound like his Dad.This was also the accidental album release show for their debut Hale, since their vinyl was a bit delayed in transit.

He makes a great combination with bassist Scout Pare-Phillips, who's a talented singer and solo perform as well as a skilled photographer (just don't check her stuff out while at work).

Banjoist Andrew Haas and drummer Corey Hughes round out the group (they also have a steel player, but he had to skip the tour).
