Acid Baby Jesus (Greece)
Heaven’s Gateway Drugs

$4, 10PM, 21+

Acid Baby Jesus returns to the States and to Fort Wayne, IN for the first and quite possibly, only time. Don’t miss it.

ACID BABY JESUS (Athens, Greece)
“A Mediterranean concoction of two of our favorite “Black” bands (Sabbath/ Lips), ABJ represents the future of heavy psych’n'roll from an isolated, ancient civilization. Combining the ruthless elements of American outlaw roots music and celestial glam rock, like fellow deconstructionists Demon’s Claws, “LP” suggests the Rolling Stones at their wearied best, with the electrifying hi-jinks of Brian Eno bulldozing the swagger into the darkest corners of the cosmos.” ~ Slovenly Recordings

Heaven’s Gateway Drugs will be opening and features members of The Sacred Broncos and Wooden Satellites. It’s the best thing since Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors.

Chain Smoking Records and StereoPirate.com Presents: Rodeo Ruby Love with special guests Fair Fjola

Making their return to Fort Wayne is the indie pop-rock group Rodeo Ruby Love. This XRA Records band recently finished their US tour in support of Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto and are heading back on the road on their first headlining tour of 2012. Based out of Bloomington, IN – Rodeo Ruby Love have become somewhat of a local legend in the Midwest with their eclectic fusion of indie rock and pop music sounds.

With an extensive discography that dates back for years, and includes their stellar 2010 release ‘This Is Why We Don’t Have Nice Things’ LP, Rodeo Ruby Love have a long history of producing captivating songs that seem to fit any mood. From the upbeat rock anthems to the intimate acoustic medleys, Rodeo Ruby Love have created a universal sound that fans of any music genre can enjoy.

Featuring an ecclectic sound that combines a variety of musical styles, from folk to indie rock to pop, Fair Fjola have been making a name for themselves throughout the Midwest in the past year. Their spectacular 2011 release ‘No One Gets Any’ has been praised with nothing but positive reviews, and their live show is something not to be missed!

We are extremely excited to be kicking off the Rodeo Ruby Love Spring 2012 tour RIGHT HERE in our great city of Fort Wayne – and would love nothing more than to see The Brass Rail packed for this extremely special concert event! So tell a friend, invite them to this event on Facebook, and be sure to bring your drinking and dancing shoes out to The Brass Rail for an unforgettable night of music and fun!
