The deaths of James Brown or the Wicked Wilson Pickett left a huge gaping hole in the soul universe, but all is not lost Black Joe Lewis is picking up where they left off. Bursting out of Austin with a eight piece set up, Black Joe Lewis and his Honeybears have been drawing fans like flies to a honey jar with their saucy dirty, blues. The songs of their debut album,Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! get to the meat of what life is all about when you're young: being broke ("I'm Broke"), one night stands ("Sugarfoot"), amour ("Bitch, I Love You") and getting down ("Boogie"). Black Joe Lewis was kind enough to talk with us before his show at the Troubadour. Here is some of what was said.

Tonight local multi-instrumentalist/composer Jon Brion (LAist Interview, #2, Review) will be jamming with friends at Largo at the Coronet. Brooklyn-based art rock quartet Ponytail are poised to headline the Echo. And, lastly, LA-based indie rockers the Amateurs, not to be confused with the band from the UK, will be ringing in their latest EP at Spaceland with fellow Los Angelenos the World Record. But we strongly suggest heading over to the Troubadour to catch Southern rockers Lucero. LAist favorites Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears are slated to kick things off.
