Dave shows his soft spot for good rock here and there, so we weren't surprised to see him tip his cap to Dulli and Lanegan's rough and road-grizzled, shit-kicking tough-love anthem "Idle Hands" last night. The so-called 'Satanic Everly Brothers' floored us with the song a few months ago, and here they remind us and everyone else too lazy to have seen them in a rock club near you why vets do it better. It sounds like the tune kicks in with pre-recorded shouts at the devil, but from there the swarthy and shadowy come-ons are live and tight.
Dave if you did go on the road with them, that's a tour documentary we would definitely watch. Here, it's an MP3 worth having:
The Gutter Twins - "Idle Hands" (MP3)
You can hear more of the Screaming/Whigs twins' shady anthems at MySpace. Saturnalia is out now via Sub Pop.
