I was going to kill my friend for dragging me out to a redneck bar last Saturday night to see a hillbilly band. But it turns out he bought tickets for The Gaslight Anthem, who played the tightest, most energetic show I've seen in years. It was standing room only and the crowd was going nuts for their punk-pop-rockabilly set. If I weren't a nine-to-fiver I'd follow The Gaslight Anthem from state to state for a while.
