Telephone:  01962 867795
Event:  Greazy Alice - Doors 7.30pm - Alice, Alice, who the hell is Greazy Alice? Good question. Greazy Alice is a character from Terry Allen’s seminal 1975 song cycle Juarez, a working girl haunting a cantina on the Mexican border “Well I’m sitting in a border palace, suckin’ on Dos Equis beer, suckin’ with Greazy Alice” – “Border Palace” by Terry Allen. When New Orleans musician Alex Pianovich was searching for a moniker under which to present new material written as an artist’s rendering of that Big Easy bar band sound. Upon hearing Juarez he knew he had a name. The current incarnation of the band took shape in November 2024, when Pianovich began to cut demos with an airtight rhythm section consisting of longtime friend Will Repholz on bass and frequent studio collaborator Lee Garcia on drums. Pianovich built on this foundation with swirling guitars and twinkling honky tonk keys. With the final addition of harmony vocals from local singer-songwriter Jo Morris there was magic on the tape. ♫♪♪
