Although San Francisco rock music will forever be associated with exuberant psychedelia and feelin'-groovy folk, our city also birthed American Music Club and Red House Painters. Lazarus, the solo vehicle of ex-Tarantel member Trevor Montgomery, keeps SF's dark side alive with literary, skeletal blues. It's a fine coincidence that Nick Cave's most recent album was called Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!, as Montgomery's chesty moans evoke the Australian singer in all his brooding, gothic glory. His trio's minimalist drones and simple drum-trap rhythms provide the perfect atmosphere for the gaunt frontman's overcast songs.
