The Devil Makes Three


In today's musical age, chalked full of djs and dub step, there's a light at the end of the day-glow tunnel, a band that really puts a unique twist on the concept of "house music." Old blues, jug band, and ragtime were all just that, music to party to. Unlike the bullshit most people are trying to dance to, The Devil Makes Three provides a unique sound, not commonly heard at your typical house party. With some real lyrics, no drummer, and a steady, rhythm-focused sound, the band's got personality that keeps people's feet moving and their mouths drinking. I had the pleasure of seein 'em perform last night at the 5-spot in Atlanta. I had seen 'em twice at SLO brew, and when people asked how they were live, I used to tell 'em that they sound just like they did on their albums. After last night though, I changed my answer to that question.

The three, together, have really grown as a band, and most definitely sound better than any album they've produced. If you haven't heard 'em, go check 'em out, maybe buy some of their shit, and support a band that's keepin' it swetty. Also, If they're ever in an area near you, make it a point to see 'em... and for the sake of the first set, make sure you're on time.
