Slobberbone not just a dog toy

Texas rockers Slobberbone have intertwined a rhythmic sound that could possibly be somewhere between alternative country artist Uncle Tupelo and the heavy metal legend AC/DC.

This new breed of renegade country music will be belted out Saturday at the Copper Dragon Brewing Co., 700 E. Grand Ave. Slobberbone offers a raucous mix of traditional country and rock n’ roll with fiery, punk-rock energy.

Opening for the alt-bread of country is local band Poor King who will wow the crowd with its arsenal of original hard-core tunes.

Poor King will get the show going around 10 p.m. For more information, call 548-2319.
