As one of— if not the—most unadulerated country bands on the entire REVERBfest bill, the Rainieros offer up honky tonk country music like real cowboys drink whiskey: straight up. They play lots of songs about drinking, and your wife being pissed at you for drinking, and there's nothing alt-, pop-, or fusion- about it. It's a straight up five-piece with a pedal steel and a steel guitar, both standard in country bands. No gimmicks here; just country music. And that's just fine by me. And so far's I know, you can only experience the beauty of the Rainieros live, because they do not have any wares for sale on the Internet, nor do they have a recorded album. That will change soon, but in the meantime, you'll just have to show up in person...see? Told ya this is old school. SARA BRICKNER - The Seattle Weekly
