Blues-rock quintet Terraplane Sun is playing at The Basement Tavern tomorrow night on the Westside. I must say, it’s quite the perfect venue for the band. Alongside the back corner of The Victorian Hotel in Santa Monica, you’ll probably see a chalkboard with drink specials scribbled artistically and an arrow pointing down…leading to a gritty set of stairs to what feels like an underground hot spot hidden among the streets of Manhattan’s lower east side. The Basement is a dimly lit bar with tasteful decor and artsy swagger (from shelves stacked with books to glass tables), perfect for a jazz band, a poet, or in this case, some good ol’ bluesy rock ‘n’ roll. The shenanigans begin at 9 pm.
Terraplane has also released another live recording of "Slow Train", one of their songs off of their brand new album, "Coyote".
