Three decades and 2,500 gigs deep, Drive-By Truckers still pull no punches, mixing front-porch brutality and political fury into a live experience that hits like gospel soaked in gasoline. Fresh off Patterson Hood’s first solo album in 12 years (Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams), the Southern rockers bring their “Charm & Decadence” tour to Stubb’s, co-headlining with Deer Tick’s unruly folk-punk swagger. Nashville’s Thelma and the Sleaze open with equal parts sludge, strut, and sweat-soaked swagger. Expect a night where truth, distortion, and heart collide in three distinct voices of the American underground. – Tim Stegall
