Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Urban Outsiders

The Brooklyn music scene conjures up stereotypical visions of skinny-jeaned über hipsters fueling the indie movement from inside their ramshackle lofts. You’d never guess that overall-wearing hillbilly band the DEFiBULATORs — whose colorful song lyrics lament the loss of their “corn money” — reside in that borough just over the bridge. The city bumpkins break with tradition and bring us tongue-in-cheek mountain-folk in overdrive; Under the Radar calls it “a boozy concoction worth swigging until the last call.” Let out a yeehaw to the tune of frenzied banjos and fiddles at Big Picture Theater & Café on Friday. Bluegrass band Haywire open.
