Our picks for the week's most noteworthy live gigs
By Jim Reed
The Hellblinki Sextet
The
brainchild of former Savannah resident (and Rogue’s Gallery
member) Andrew Benjamin, this Augusta-based collective plays dark and
addled Vaudevillian blues strongly influenced by both old-timey gypsy
flair and the European cabaret tradition. Their rotating lineup employs
everything from toy instruments to transistor radios and empty wine
bottle-percussion, and as such, their songs aim squarely for fans of
the creepy burlesque-and-sea chanty vibe of Swordfishtrombones-era Tom
Waits, while also appealing to devotees of Tim Burton’s
crepuscular fantasy world. Openers Monsters of Japan adore Clutch and
play quirky metal while in Kabuki-inspired regalia. Sat., 10 pm, The
Jinx.
