Jon Langford's Skull Orchard at Bloodshot Brew Bash

The great - and I do mean great - Jon Langford of Mekons, Waco Brothers, Pine Valley Cosmonauts, Three Johns and Jon Langford fame - plays the North Star on Sunday night with the Bloodshot Records Brew Bash.

Langford - the Chicago based Welshman (pictured above a couple of SXSW's ago, with the Wacos) known for his trenchant wit and second career as a visual artist specializing in bone faced cowboys - has a new album out with his Skull Orchard sideline called Old Devils.

Here's the link to a radio broadcast of the Free at Noon Langford and Skull Orchard did at the World Cafe Live in November. On Sunday, at the North Star, Langford and Skull Orchard headline a bill that includes Bloodshot "insurgent country" label mates Eddie Spaghetti (of Supersuckers), Whitey Morgan & the 78s and Lydia Loveless.
