Three reasons to begin an unhealthy obsession with The Greenhornes:
1) Hailing from Cincin, OH, the current members are Craig Fox on lead vox and guitar, Jack Lawrence on bass, and Patrick Keeler on drums.
Those names sound familiar? Well they should. The Greenhornes have been on a hiatus since members Lawrence and Keeler have been sidetracked with a couple of projects known as The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.
2) Thirdman Records have announced that this legendary garage-rock group will be releasing a new album “****” on October 26th.
2.5) They’ll be ringing in the New Year on December 31st with The Black Keys at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.
3) Have you heard their collaboration with Holly Golightly from the Broken Flowers soundtrack?
