Splitlip Rayfield at the Troubadour

Splitlip Rayfield brings its manic speed bluegrass to the Troubador Saturday night. If you never seen a gas tank bass guitar, this will be probably your only chance. The Wichita, Kansas-based outfit could be described as one part punkabilly, one part country, and one part too-much fun. In any case they are not to be missed. Get hip to the 'Lip. 10pm.
