Outlaw Energy

By: Laurie Gallardo

Originally from Seattle, Darci Carlson has mad love for outlaw country, with just a bit of punk coursing through her veins, having done some time as lead guitarist in The Dolly Rottens and co-fronting bassist/vocalist in Brent Amaker Deathsquad. Call it hardcore twang if you like, but these days, it’s not so much punk country as it is…well, country. No need for pop or the other bells and whistles, just country. Carlson reveres the spirit of the outlaw women in the country realm, and lives by this rule: “If you ain’t got haters, you ain’t doin’ it right.”

Truth. Join Darci Carlson tonight, Monday May 22, for the Monday Night Country Club at The Far Out Lounge and Stage in South Austin. Special guest Ellis Bullard shares the bill. Doors at 7 p.m.
