Birthed from deep guttural slurs, angst, and F*-all spirit, Shilpa Ray of Beat The Devil's solo pursuit, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers, marinates such caged emotions in warbling, intense curls of rage rock and country-tinged blues. Rugged and off-the-cuff, you half expect the debut CD, A Fish Hook An Open Eye, to come packaged with Marlboro Reds and a flask of whiskey. The tune below oscillates between shrill, curdling vocals, cymbal clashes, and lap steel guitar swings. Like Heartless Bastards' Erika Wennerstrom with brash, NY survival instincts, Shilpa Ray seems to be belting deviously for all us ambivalent suckers to wake the hell up.

Need we remind you that she's opening TONIGHT for The Mobius Band and The Duke Spirit at MHOW?

Sounds Like: Tom Waits, Heartless Bastards, Kaki King, PJ Harvey, Patti Smith
