Preview: Blackstone Rangers and Diamond Age at Double Wide

Think the lineup for this all-local show sounds like a sci-fi novel? You're not the only one. Headliners Blackstone Rangers are working their way to a new full-length, and the four-piece brings with them some rarefied distorto-pop, and possibly that riotous cover of the Breeders' "Cannonball." Diamond Age's solo drone...

Think the lineup for this all-local show sounds like a sci-fi novel? You're not the only one. Headliners Blackstone Rangers are working their way to a new full-length, and the four-piece brings with them some rarefied distorto-pop, and possibly that riotous cover of the Breeders' "Cannonball." Diamond Age's solo drone tones center the night, and if you catch him in the right mood, you might get some bits from his unintentional stand-up routine, which I witnessed back in December at Bryan Street Tavern. The wholly un-Googleable Moon opens, and I heard from a friend that there might be a Dr. Who cover so, ya know, nerd alert.
