NLG Introduces: Sir Loin and the Barons of Beef

With a name like this, these local Victoria lads whet the appetite even before their meaty paws lay claim to their instruments. However, the jams that these boys throw down are even beefier than their name would suggest. You might as well call them Sir Loin and the Filet Mignons by virtue of how fine their blend of psychedelic-blues-rock is. First heard by NLG at an open mic night at the Fernwood Inn, we’ve been hankering for another taste of their savory throwback jams ever since. Their cover of David Crosby’s “Almost Cut My Hair” was so good it made us want to order ten bison burgers and eat them all at the same time…and we’re vegetarians.

The Barons and Sir Loin will be playing a set at a benefit show at the Fleet Club in Esquimalt this Saturday the 9th. NLG suggests that if you want to hear some seriously succulent live jams, go check out the Barons this Saturday, and go hungry.

Sir Loin and the Barons of Beef - In the End

More can be heard from Sir Loin and the Barons of Beef on their facebook page. Make sure to sit back and enjoy the track "Midday Blues" (we couldn't steal it from their Flash player).
