艺人介绍
by Jason Ankeny and Mark DemingThe Waco Brothers were one of many projects spearheaded by Jon Langford, the frontman of the seminal British punk band the Mekons. An alternative country outfit based in Langfords adopted home of Chicago, the Waco Brotherss approach grew out of mid-80s Mekons records like Fear and Whiskey and The Mekons Honky Tonkin, which explored the groups interest in roots music. After the Mekons eventually returned to a more straightforward, punk-flavored sound, the Waco Brothers emerged over a decade later as a vehicle for Langfords long-dormant country leanings. Fusing honky tonk and rockabilly with Langfords typically political lyrics, the group was for the most part comprised of fellow British expatriates, including drummer Steve Goulding (who plays with The Mekons and was a member of Graham Parkers the Rumour), bassist Alan Doughty (ex-Jesus Jones), steel guitarist Marc Durante (who worked with KMFDM), and mandolinist Tracy Dear, with guitarist Dean Schlabowske (aka Deano) serving as the groups token Yankee. While Langford originally founded the group strictly as a live act to play locally in Chicago, the Waco Brothers soon won a passionate following for their energetic and beer-soaked club gigs, and after Langford struck up a friendship with Bloodshot Records co-founder Rob Miller, the band recorded their debut album for the label, 1995s To The Last Dead Cowboy. A second album followed in 1997, Cowboy In Flames, and soon became one of the labels biggest sellers; since then, the Waco Brothers have released a steady stream of albums (2005s Freedom and Weep was the bands sixth full-length set) and toured periodically, though folks wanting to see them on stage are still best advised to visit Chicago. Several members of the Waco Brothers are frequent participants in another of Langfords many projects, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, while Schlabowske also performs with his own group, Dollar Store.
