   About The Beautiful Train Wrecks
"The Beautiful Train Wrecks’ leader, lanky Kansan transplant Lucas Alberg, resembles an elongated Elvis Costello, and delivers his lyrics in a strong, slightly nasal voice retaining a bit of Midwest twang. Guitarist Travis Magrane sprinkles peals of honky-tonk into the mix with a bit of Byrds-y glow, while bassist Rick Hedges sings solid harmonies and adds a pop bounce to Paul DeMichele’s shuffling drums. The band packs a bag full of clever tunes, currently being mixed for a debut release later this year." - Willamette Week (May 2009)

The Deer lodge was a blast. We played Sam Bond's in Eugene last night and It was equally cool. Looking forward to the White Eagle show in July.

Question: Do I have to wear pants when I sit-in with you guys tomorrow night at the White Eagle?

The reason I ask is because the show is being shot for a concert film. But multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire Jeff Porter is acting like he won't get onstage unless he can play pants-free.

I sort of see his point... film or no film, why do those of us just sitting-in have to hide our assets?
