Rowdy country-rock double-bill = Natural Child + Futurebirds

(this piece was published by Planet JH Weekly)UPDATE 2/21: Natural Child has cancelled, Futurebirds still on. Roll it up, drink it down, trip it out, snort it up, Natural Child is comfortable in a distinction as the sleaziest of Nashville’s garage rock scene, and an affection for singing about drugs. Spinning the trio’s upcoming release on Feb. 25, Dancin’ with Wolves, there’s an equal representation of rock, country and blues in the realm of The Rolling Stones, JJ Cale, and Waylon Jennings, all easily fitting in an early ‘70s vibe that brings to mind Canned Heat. There is plenty of comedy in what they do and their music is not over-produced.Billed with another party band that are no strangers to getting hammered and rowdy on the Tavern stage, it would be a charming quality for the drunken swagger of Futurebirds to sound as genuine and focused as their albums do. Bringing a psychedelic, reverbed approach to country rock, this talented six-piece brings over-the-top energy. Futurebirds with Natural Child, 9:30 p.m. Tuesday at Town Square Tavern. $15. 307Live.com, 733-3886.
