ENTERTAINMENT Saturday, April 20, 2019 East Oregonian C3 K N U P W O C to stampede The Leslie By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian A Texas alt-country group with punk roots will take the stage during the upcoming “Live from the Leslie,” a monthly concert series in Pendleton. Offering the next wave of Texas music, Vandoliers is a six-piece Dallas-Fort Worth band led by front- man Joshua Fleming. With a mixture of gritty vocals, country twang and fi ddles, honky-tonk and horns, the group channels the Lone Star State’s uniqueness and tradition. Annalise Dome- nighini with Noisey said Vandoliers’ sound con- tinues to reenergize mod- ern cowpunk — calling it “warmly familiar.” Formed in 2015, the band recently released its third album, “Forever.” It’s described as “a mix of youthful and defi ant punk, rugged Red Dirt country, and vibrant Tejano.” In addition to Fleming (songwriter, lead singer, guitar), the band features Mark Moncrieff (bass), Guyton Sanders (drums), Travis Curry (fi ddle), Dustin Fleming (electric guitar) and Cory Graves (multi-i nst r u ment alist). Also, Fleming is known to serve up rousing sing-along choruses. The event is Friday, May 3 at The Lodge, 14 S.E. Third St., Pendleton. The concert doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are $10 via www.brown- papertickets.com (which also provides an opportu- nity to reserve tables for two). Also, limited tickets are available for purchase at 215 S.E. Dorion Ave., Pendleton. Tickets sold at the door are $12. Tennessee troubadour Cory Branan will perform the opening set. His lat- est release, “Adios,” was named one of the 40 best country albums of 2017 by Rolling Stone. Contributed photo Vandoliers, a six-piece alt-country band from Texas, will perform during the May 3 “Live from the Leslie” at The Lodge in Pendleton.
