Alt.Country, power pop, loud rockabilly, and love songs. If you enjoy any or all of the things we've just mentioned, make it a priority to head to Stubb's tonight. For almost 15 years, Dallas-based The Old 97's have been playing a mixture of the music they love. The band started on Bloodshot Records as a loud, rough-hewn alt.country bar band, then slowly evolved their sound into something catchy and polished enough that the love songs from 2001's Satellite Rides would have fit in fine on a Grey's Anatomy montage. In fact, the band were recently featured in an extended scene in the Vince Vaughan film The Break-Up, and indie-rock whipping boy Zach Braff has also placed their songs in some Scrubs episodes.
