Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.
Low Cut Connie, a band based around the songwriting talents of Adam Weiner and Dan Finnemore, deal in a rousing brand of rock’n’roll that has roots in the Fifties heyday of Jerry Lee Lewis (thanks to Weiner’s rollicking piano licks) but somehow manages to avoid the whiff of the antique.
And at its best, it’s tremendous stuff, with droll, sardonic portraits of lovers and losers punched along by grooves that sound variously like the Spencer Davis Group produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland (“Shake It Little Tina”), Stonesy raunch pitched midway between rock, funk, soul and country (“Me N Annie”), and sundry suggestions of Elton John, The Replacements and Calexico.
Highlights include a Leadbelly cover (“Dickie’s Bringin’ Me Down”) treated to fuzz-guitar and fluid piano; and a dark tale, “Danny’s Outta Money”.
