Win Tickets For The Greenhornes at Maxwells On April 9

The Greenhornes recently made a long-overdue return to the rock 'n' roll fray; a couple of the band's members have been sidelined with some little side projects, like The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. The trio recently released their new album Four Stars on their buddy Jack White's Third Man Records and TAS is giving you the chance to win tickets to see them rip up Maxwell's in Hoboken on April 9.

Win Tix For The Greenhornes at Bell House on April 8

Garage rockers The Greenhornes might have had a generous gap between albums, but since a couple of the band members were busy with "side" projects like The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, the hiatus was understandable. The gritty trio is finally back with their fourth studio album, Four Stars, released on friend Jack White's Third Man Records, and you can win tickets to see them play an intimate gig at Brooklyn's The Bell House on April 8.

TAS In Session: The Greenhornes

An eight-year hiatus between studio albums sounds extreme, but The Greenhornes have been a bit preoccupied. Bassist Jack Lawrence and drummer Patrick Keeler ended up in The Raconteurs and Loretta Lynn's Do-Whaters, Lawrence is also in The Dead Weather and singer/guitarist Craig Fox has two other bands. The spiky, garage-rocking trio finally reconvened last year to record their new album Four Stars and they dropped by The Alternate Side to play us four songs from that new record, out now on pal Jack White's Third Man Records.
