Chris Shiflett and The Dead Peasants w/Ari Shrine August 9, 2010

"Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett has taken a detour off the radio rock superhighway and found himself on a country road. His side project Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants -- inspired by a trip a couple years ago to rockabilly's answer to Coachella, the Hootenanny in Orange County -- finds the 39-year-old guitar-slinger coaxing twangy laments out of his Martin acoustic, finding giddy-up in a couple of open-road electric numbers and rounding out of the Peasants' sound with mandolin, pedal steel and keys. Yes, it's nothing like Shiflett's other side project, the punky Jackson United, but props to a guy for spending two months this winter recording an album of Americana when he could probably have been on a Caribbean island." - LA Weekly
