Dark Streets & Straight To Hell - "Pogues vs Clash"
About This Event
At Mercury Lounge, Dark Streets and Straight To Hell headline a night of Pogues- and Clash-rooted repertory. Dark Streets—heard around downtown rooms such as Lucinda’s—leans toward loose, forward-moving performances and plainspoken storytelling, and has performed If I Should Fall From Grace With God in full; Straight To Hell works through The Clash’s catalog with tight ensemble arrangements that foreground the punk chassis and its reggae, dub and ska undercurrents.
