The Village Voice has a Q&A with Jon Langford of the Waco Brothers and the Mekons (playing the Highline Ballroom this evening.) Langford talks about the Waco Brother’s beginnings, his time on Bloodshot Records and their recent release Waco Express: Live & Kickin’ at Schuba’s Tavern.

I’ll tell you-the Waco Brothers for me are one of those bands where my Last.fm profile SAYS I’ve listened to them, but I’ll be damned if I can remember any songs. They just don’t STICK, you know? Same goes for Jason Isbell. Don’t know why.
Timmy Mack, I hear ya. As good as they are te Wacos couldn’t find a hoon\k in a Bass Pro Shop.
