*SOLD OUT* Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band / Styrofoam Winos

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+ New Threats from the Soul is a masterclass in reducing the sublime to the prosaic, immensity to infinitesimally, and vice versa (the trick can only work both ways). Everything in our universe is essentially flotsam or jetsam, rubbish heaps of fragments and shards. We, especially, are jerry-rigs of bubblegum and driftwood, inconsistencies and incoherencies, dead dreams and necrophagous hopes. The record functions in parallel with Kafka's winking dictum that there is an infinite amount of hope in the universe, just not for us. New Threats suggests that maybe, just maybe, something like redemption is possible, but only once we're entirely emptied out and hawked in toto down at Walden Pawn.
Why We Like It
- Next month, the Roadhouse Band will play a handful of dates in the Midwest and South, with a robust UK and EU tour to follow.
- Today's newly announced dates will bring the band to additional cities in the South and Midwest, as well as cities on the West Coast.
- New Threats from the Soul [is] a beautiful and wildly smart record about making do in an upside-down world.
Who Should Attend
Music fans and those interested in thought-provoking, genre-blending rock music will enjoy this event.
