   About the getouts
trashy rock, country blues, and western omelets. Others have said... GETOUTS. I love a band that can evoke the comforts of a greasy spoon in music, and this local quartet is among the few to nail it. The house speciality is guitar—bluesy guitar, boogie guitar, slide-y guitar, Keef-y guitar, and Skynyrdyffyc guitar, all chopped up and cooked in a steaming omelet with a side of sausage and a slop of hot sauce. But that’s not all there is to eat: singer-guitarist Andy Matzdorf (the group’s only constant member) has a little Jeffrey Lee Pierce in him and an accent swiped from one of the Van Zant brothers. Tonight the Getouts celebrate their 11-track debut, How to Save a Drowning Horse, on their own label, Fort Awesome, named after their rehearsal space and studio. Penthouse Sweets and the Outlaw Family Band open. 9 PM, Empty Bottle —Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader

The Getouts' MySpace page describes them as “rock/Americana/garage,” and that's a surprisingly accurate description of their sound on their self-titled, self-released album. Their version of Americana isn't terribly distinguished, but when they cross over to the garage side, they have a remarkable sense of dynamics, not doing the usual lame Cramps/Rev. Heat/Monomen imitations that others in the same field do. These guys are clearly onto something. –the Onion AV Club
