Don't miss: Holy Ghost Tent Revival in Cambridge (Sat 2/19)

I've never seen Holy Ghost Tent Revival live, but I get the impression they're one of those bands that rolls into town, unloads their gear (most likely battered and duct taped) and proceeds to whip the crowd into a frenzy.  Then, they disappear as quickly as they came, leaving behind nothing but a trail of empty whiskey bottles, ringing ears and new fans.  Just a hunch.

Their sound recalls fellow North Carolinians The Avett Brothers (stomping bluegrass-punk, tender ballads, banjo) and adds blaring New Orleans horns to the mix.  Do yourself a favor and check out the band's show at Atwood Tavern in Cambridge this Saturday 2/19, it's gonna be a party.

If you doubt my hyperbolic expectations about the band's live show, listen to this track off their recent live album (get the whole thing here) and tell me I'm wrong:
