Dave Alvin, Blasters guitarist, played one song on The Las Vegas Story by the Gun Club, one of my all time favourite albums. He also played with X, another of my faves, on one album, co-wrote at least one tune with John Doe and I believe that they covered one of his songs.
As a 34 year old veteran of over 400 concerts and proud owner of an enormous CD collection, these are criteria that would make me go and see them.
Check the website for clues as to their style, but basically it sounds like rootsy rock with some brass. The started on the back of the LA Punk movement that spawned Social Distortion, X, Gun Club and all the others mentioned in Marc Spitz and Brendan Mullen's excellent book We Got The Neutron Bomb.
