Kerosene Kondors

Steeped in the musical traditions of the old, weird America, the Kerosene Kondors are polishing off the sounds of our shameless and glorious past with spit and elbow grease. Their songs, mostly originals by young troubadour Willie Rubio, take you from the bordellos of 19th century St. Louis to the dark hollers of Appalachia to the street corners of 1930s Memphis, and take you there dancing.Rubio’s songs consistently demonstrate that dark and literate lyrics can coexist with danceable music
