When the Volcano’s resident Dungeons and Dragons expert, Joe Izenman, says something, I tend to listen. (Especially when he’s talking about beards or mustaches, but that’s beside the point ... or is it?) So, when Izenman said on SPEW a few months back, “I first saw Travis Barker leading blues outfit the Black Sails, but he’s really found his niche partnered with the siren voice of Kirsten Wenlock,” I knew he meant business. The group Izenman was referring to was Elk & Boar; at the time the duo had just performed in Tacoma at the Peabody Waldorf. Saturday, Elk & Boar are back, playing a Warehouse-produced free show at O’Malley’s with Hurtbird and Brothers Young. There’s no doubt this will be one of the best, hippest shows of the weekend. Brush your beard and come on out.
