Jack Oblivian @ Bruar Falls
January 14, 2010
Jack Oblivian and the Tennessee Tearjerkers played a special Vice/”Scion Garage Show”-sponsored free show at Bruar Falls. John-Paul Keith (The One Four Fives) was particularly KILLER with the licks on the ash-body Telecaster, while jack wailed on the Jaguar (which would be my dream guitar, if I were a guitarist). Jack has been doing reunions with The Oblivans and The Compulsive Gamblers this past year, and as fans of both those bands, I knew what I was in for. It’s a particular brand of rock and roll, prevalently from Memphis, the kind that makes you ask, Why is this so good?! Speaking of Memphis, they also payed tribute to their dear friend Jay Reatard (R.I.P.), with Black Boots (a 7″ that came out on Shattered Records in 2004). Opening the show were Chicago’s Mannequin Men, with plenty of swagger and the songs to back it up.
