To me, accomplished Seattle bassist and vocalist Dan Infecto has always merely been one-half of the dark, rumbling alt-metal duo Me Infecto, a great band that’s been lumbering around these parts on and off for years. But as it turns out, he’s much, much more than that. Recently he’s been playing upright bass with local country-punks Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies, and now he’s put together his own outfit (under the Dan Infecto moniker) in a somewhat similar country vein, but even more stripped down and old-timey. Typically, it’s Dan’s deep, gritty voice and acoustic guitar strums, accompanied now and then by organ, a bit of electric guitar, and rudimentary percussion in a manner that occasionally nods to vintage Johnny Cash. It might not be as loud as Me Infecto, but it can be just as heavy. With Bob Wayne & the Outlaw Carnies, the Shivering Denizens. MICHAEL ALAN GOLDBERG
