Vampire Rock, Shiny Around the Edges

Record store Day is coming up on April 18th. One band from Denton, Texas I wish I would be around to hear as they shake the windows with their heavy, vampire rock is Shiny Around the Edges.

Even though they look like a dark version of the Handsome Family, there's something vicious and sexy about "Come Closer," a hard as skulls single from their new album Holy Roller: "Come crawling the right way / down the hallway."

They're playing at Good Records in Dallas, a store owned by Tim DeLaughter of the Polyphonic Spree. They've been having good underground shows there for years. Grandadddy, Grizzly Bear even. Go to Lower Greenville, eat a perfect bowl of salty, beautiful queso at Blue Goose. Then please go to Good Records.
