Los Colognes + Wrenclaw

ISTHMUS PICK

Thursday, Aug. 11, East Side Club, 6 pm

Described as an amalgam of Americana, jam band and yacht rock, Los Colognes are a tough band to pin down. But frankly, you don’t really need to — all you need to know is that they’re really good — lauded by the likes of Consequence of Sound and NPR, in fact. They’ll be joined by the Madison-based Wrenclaw, a group whose self-described “thriftstore country” sound is built around some serious slide guitar shredding.
