Low Cut Connie Holiday Blow-Up

If you’ve survived the Mayan apocalypse but can’t take another minute of family holiday togetherness, what better escape than seedy, exuberant, clever-but-never-ironic Low Cut Connie? Jersey’s Adam Weiner bangs out songs about bars, pick-up lines and bros on his roadhouse piano, mugging shamelessly, high-kicking and performing Little Richard-style arabesques from the bench. Meanwhile, Dan Finnermore, his songwriting partner, executes tight, incendiary guitar riffs that split the difference between ’50s jump blues and ’60s garage. Bob Christgau gave their debut Get Out the Lotion an A- and called it “resolute rock and roll whose joyless momentum and stubborn little tunes will tell you more than you want to know about the pursuit of pleasure in America’s deader downtowns and strip malls.” Jingle, jingle, drink up. —Jennifer Kelly
