Lambchop at IOTA

Lampchop plays songs from their Mr. M album

Lampchop made its first appearance in 10 years at Iota this past Sunday.  I wasn't sure what to make of the group that once proclaimed themselves as “Nashville’s most fucked-up country band,” but they drew a packed crowd that is unusual for a Sunday night. They played songs from their new album Mr. M to a quiet and attentive audience.
