    Lazy Lester, Brad Stivers

    Along with Slim Harpo, Lonesome Sundown, and Lightnin’ Slim, this harmonica-blowing, guitar-picking, songwriting legend residences his unmistakable Louisiana swamp blues at Antone’s. The Kinks, Dave Edmunds, Dwight Yoakam, and Austin’s Fabulous Thunderbirds are but a few who have covered his songs. With four nights to choose from, there’s no excuse for missing this seminal bluesman.

    Destroyer, Mega Bog

    Dan Bejar revels in density. Within Destroyer, his songs pack allusions and contort wordplay through his distinct nasal pitch and often elaborate arrangements. Last year’s 11th LP, Ken, offered a different vision from the Vancouver songwriter, more sparse and direct in both sentiment and sound as it braced with Eighties-inspired synth rhythms. “I can’t imagine writing another batch of songs like this again,” confides Bejar. “It just seems incongruous with what I’ve been doing for the last 15 years. I like it, but it just seems like a special set of songs in a lot of ways. It’s almost kind of goth, or as goth as Destroyer’s ever going to get. “Lyrically, I feel like the songs have kind of a darkness to them, a kind of darkness that’s different to the pleasant kind of melancholia that Destroyer songs usually have to them. There’s a handful of them that are more menacing and clenched. I don’t really know where that was coming from. “The only thing I really sense when I scan Ken is there’s a really specific definition to the world that seems to be diseased and hostile and violent, or maybe decaying.” The sound partially attributes to Bejar’s extensive solo touring over the past year, the most he’s ever done. Returning now with an eightpiece band, his filling out the songs provides a new perspective on them. “It feels in some ways the most outside of me, because I don’t see myself as a person on the verge of collapse,” he laughs. “As I get older, the world seems more confusing and demented. I feel like that’s a real normal thing that happens, but maybe it just happens slightly quicker when you’re in show business.”
