MMS Concert Preview - Water Liars at DC9

Need an injection of fun into your week? Check out Mississippi's Water Liars tonight at DC9. They channel the earnestness and urgency of Conor Oberst, and filter that energy through the Southern twang and gothic romanticism of A. A. Bondy. Their songs are sonically sweeping in the tradition of Southern greats like the Allmans and Lynyrd Skynyrd, yet personal and deeply introspective like those of Iron & Wine's Sam Beam. They're touring in support of their self-titled third album, which came out in early 2014 via Big Legal Mess and Fat Possum Records. Doors open at 8:30, and the show starts at 9.
