Eight Gigs: Miss Lonely Hearts

There's no beer-soaked, tear-jerking sad country waltzes at a Miss Lonely Hearts show. OK, they have some sad, sappy lyrics of course, but they will keep you dancing at the same time with some high-energy classic honky-tonk-meets-rockabilly-style California country tunes. Just to watch upright bassist Mischa Gasch hopping around on his bass is enough to make anyone want to forget about their workweek problems and cut a rug. The group really finds that sweet spot between superb old-timey musicianship and loose grooves that is everything you could want in a country band. 1915 I Street, www.facebook.com/
