country/bluegrass/americana influences?
KharBevNor:
16 Horsepower, The Coffinshakers, Changes, The Reverend Horton Heat.
Brian Majestic:
Nobody mentioning the Legendary Shackshakers makes the baby Jesus weep.
To those not in the know: Bluegrass + punk attitude + songs about ass shaking and killers = awesome.

--- Quote from: Skibas_clavicle ---I am so happy I came across this thread. Can someone recommend some bluegrass though? I wanted to start a thread with recommendations and this can pretty much sub for that. I want bluegrass though. No country inspired indie rock. Straight up bluegrass, children.

Nickel Creek. defintely. and go for the O, Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack. that's what got me interested in bluegrass.

Oh bloody hell, yes! I saw them live last month and a couple of months prior and will see them again next month when they open for The Reverend Horton heat! I fucking love those guys.
Also everything Khar said
Doctor Funk:
Ahoy there, and such.
Well, they probably are in and amongst the relevant allmusic pages, but look into the Dillards if you haven't. Wheatstraw Suite is the progrssive bluegrass album (or so I understand, and it's gorgeous stuff regardless). The cover the Beatles ("I've just seen a face"), they do wonderful harmonies, and they play a mean goddamn banjo, although slightly moreso on their earlier albums (which are closer to straight bluegrass, but also good).
Anyway, I'll stop pimping them now. Good luck with the show.
