White Denim is set to open three Wilco shows in Los Angeles, including 1/24 at the Hollywood Palladium, 1/25 at The Wiltern and 1/27 at the Los Angeles Theatre, and headlines The Satellite on 2/11. Any band handpicked by Wilco (arguably the U.S. critical equivalent to Radiohead) to warm up its Spring West Coast tour, must be something special — and, White Denim is a true musical treat.
Much like Wilco, White Denim is nearly impossible to peg stylistically. This Austin, TX four piece’s new album, D, which is certainly not it’s letter grade, might sound like a tight jam band one moment and a progressive country act the next. Vocalist/guitarist James Petralli, by the way, is the son of Major League Baseball catcher Geno Petralli. The band which formed in 2005, already has five full-length albums and five EPs out. Indeed, White Denim is the perfect addition to any self-respecting wardrobe.
