The Ginger Envelope,
Drakkar Sauna
Flicker Theatre & Bar
Drakkar Sauna's music cer
tainly delivers upon its name's
fragrant promise: these boys
emanate harmonies that waver
and shift and curve and stab
but stay closer than the direst
stink lines. It's humane music,
which explains all the musk;
imagine two perpetually-tour
ing buddies with nothing to
do on the road all day but
steam-up their sedan-bubble
with singing so radiant and
beaming it sends shudders
through the plains-grasses
spreading around their travels,
and you get an idea of how
natural it feels when they
open their mouths to sing.
They can fill a room gloriously
with song, til the window-
panes are stressed with it and
the gaps above the doorjambs
are leaking it.
Jeff Stoltz and Wallace Drakkar Sauna
Cochran live now in Lawrence,
KS, which makes a fair amount of sense: the warmth and ease so redolent in their music
evokes those sun-fired Kansan wheat fields; underneath it all, however, is a dense dark loam—
they both passed plenty of time toiling in Rust Belt gray-zones like Detroit and Pittsburgh,
and that city-shocked realism has put a layer of consternation beneath the harmonically opti
mistic atmosphere. This ain't parlor-music.
Think of the young Everlys skipping the sock-hop to read a bunch of Freud and catch a
Pablo Neruda reading, and you've got a start. Now throw in the coffin-wheeze of Nico's har
monium—via JefPs one-handed Harmophone!—and the indispensable tribal boom-whap of
a guitarist playing percussion with just his feet and you're getting a fuller picture. Add next
those molecular-airborne things, like the ecstasy of instantaneous musical invention and the
joy of witnessing up-close a musical brotherhood—inherently packed with the truth and the
beauty and all that—play itself out, and now you start to understand how truly great it is to
see Drakkar Sauna play live. Show starts at 8:30 p.m. [Jim McHugh]
