Wild Moccasins Break In Their Touring Shoes

Houston band Wild Moccasins will be playing two shows in Brooklyn this weekend: Friday at Death By Audio and Saturday at Union Hall. I wrote a feature about them last summer in relation to local music scenes, and it seems that a year later they’ve shed the cocoon and are flying like beautiful butterflies across the East Coast and Midwest. A few samplings of what the show might be like after the jump.

When I last saw them (in December) they’d improved their live show considerably, so I’m guessing they’re even better by now. I’m a connoisseur of all things that are pleasant to do while drinking a beer, and I can assure you that seeing Wild Moccasins is near the top of the list. They’ve got a ragtag, toe-tapping sound and and an infectious ebullience that makes you wonder why all things in life can’t be so genuinely cheerful. Wild Moccasins [MySpace]
