The Kings of Outlaw Country have a motto: “Livin’ Hard and Drinkin’ with Both Fists.” So, does it come as any surprise the band will be plugging in at O’Malley’s on Saturday night? Something tells me they share the motto with a number of O’Malley’s regulars. But besides an affinity for liver damage, this is a band built on all the good things country music used to be — wild, unrestrained, dangerous, sometimes drunk — and none of the things that’s corrupted the genre — like Toby Keith’s well manicured beard. Throw in a punk rock swagger, and you’ve got “music for your inner hillbilly,” as the band likes to say. Let that hillbilly loose on Saturday.
