Backyard Tire Fire is an Illinois-based alt-country/rock trio that brings things backwards. Dishing out heavy doses of blues licks, classic rock riffs, and a little twang, the band’s music often gives the feeling of coming from of a gritty and seasoned bar band. Maybe something akin to the Drive-By Truckers, if you will. Anyhow, they have a new full-length record called Vagabonds And Hooligans that is due out in early 2007, but next Tuesday marks the release of their great little teaser EP Skin & Bones that features two songs from the forthcoming album.
Tonight (Friday the 13th) is actually the first of their two EP release shows. The other is tomorrow night (Saturday, October 14th) at the Double Door in Chicago. Check them out if you can and pick up a copy of their EP. From the sound of things, Vagabonds And Hooligans should be a doozy.

Dude, BTF is playing Carbondale next Saturday night. Want to check it out after the ceremony? I doubt Kelly would be cool with it, but after like 6pm it’s going to be a lot harder for her to break up with me.
