On Friday night, after Gourds singer/multi-instrumentalist Kev Russell inevitably belts out, "With so much drama in the LBC," the crowd at Poor David's will hoot and holler louder than they have for the rest of the Austin band's set. It's a damn shame that the band's novelty hit, a countrified...

On Friday night, after Gourds singer/multi-instrumentalist Kev Russell inevitably belts out, "With so much drama in the LBC," the crowd at Poor David's will hoot and holler louder than they have for the rest of the Austin band's set.

So be a good sport and pick up some Gourds records before attending the upcoming concert. There's eight to pick from, for Pete's sake, so show up knowing a song that doesn't have the words "dee oh double gee" in it.
