SLCene Suggests: King Tuff at Kilby Court

KING TUFF, KILBY COURT, Wednesday, Jan. 28, 7 p.m., $12

King Tuff is destined to be one of the best shows of the winter, and since its in the cozy confines of Kilby Court, you’ll want to get there early to get a primo spot to watch Kyle Thomas, the man behind the band, delve into the lo-fi garage mayhem that fills King Tuff’s albums. The most recent release, Black Spell Moon, is a glorious, slippery beast of bluesy electric mayhem full of killer grooves and reverb. It’s glammy, it’s sloppy, it’s refreshingly rock-centric among of a see of folk-strumming King Tuff contemporaries. Given that Black Spell Moon is just Thomas’s second full-length, expect a serious dose of the new goods at the show.
