The Wildhearts are the best rock n roll band you've never heard of. Unless you've heard of them, in which case they are already your favorite band. Amirtite?? After a 3 year hiatus they regrouped and played a blistering sold out show at the Kentishtown Forum in London in December of 2012. They were so enrgized from that performance that they decided to do a 4 show tour of the UK; so we twisted their arms, and hearts, with promises of bank notes and booze, to come to New York Fukken City!!! They have recently welcomed "Random" Jon Poole back into the band to take over on bass duties, so we will be getting a "random" assortment of their greatest hits and finest moments from their 20+ year catalog this night at the Music Hall.
Wish you could hear their whole debut "Earth Vs the Wildhearts" in its entirety as well? Funny you should mention it because they are celebrating its 20th anniversary by playing it in its entirety on Friday May 31st at the Gramercy Theatre. Tix and info for that show can be found here.
