SLCene Suggests: The Devil Makes Three at The Depot

THE DEVIL MAKES THREE, THE DEPOT, Saturday, Nov. 17, 9 p.m., $20

It’s always fun to see a band strike a nerve and grow in popularity at a rapid-fire pace, and that certainly seems to be what’s happening with The Devil Makes Three, a roots-music crew with punk attitude and energy to burn on stage. After a couple of packed shows at the 300-capacity State Room, the Santa Cruz crew are stepping up to the 1,200-capacity Depot this time around. Word from their rep is that the same type of thing is happening across the country. Clearly, the drummerless group that delves into folk, country, bluegrass and blues in its songwriting is building quite the reputation as a live band to see. I’ve seen ’em, and that reputation is well-deserved. Johnny Fritz Corndawg opens the show.
