Nashville’s evil queens of eyeliner (no, not Lady Antebellum), The Black Belles, are generating quite a bit of buzz lately.

The Third Man Records garage rockers burst out of the gates last year with their self-titled debut LP. Last week they received a glowing review of their live show from Consequence of Sound, and you can read an interview with drummer Shelby Lynne at The Silver Tongue.

They also made an appearance on The Colbert Report, and they released “Charlene II (I’m Over You)” single with the faux conservative pundit on vocals. To top it all off, their ghoulish stomper “What Can I Do?” is the theme song to Elvira’s Movie Macabre.

As the just-released Fareveller schedule states, the Black Belles are playing Friday, March 23, at the Young Ave. Deli.

The YouTube tags on Eliot Lipp & Jasia 10′s single “Genesis” include “beats funk Dinosaurs Cavemen Apocalypse Future bass synth.” That’s some pretty heady stuff for a music video. Amazingly enough, the tags do a good job summarizing the video and hinting at the song’s retro/futuristic synth and slithery groove.

Eliot released the album How We Do last fall, a collaboration with Old Tacoma Records labelmate and fellow Tacoma, WA, native Jasia 10. Since then, he’s been regularly updating his SoundCloud page with new jams. His latest, “I w☆nted 2 be ☆ Rock & Roll st☆r,” is a take on Willie Hutch’s “Woman I Still Got Loving You on My Mind,” turning the slow-burning soul tune into a swaggering club anthem.

While you’re there, keep on listening in awe of Eliot’s studio prowess and thinking about how incredible it’s going to be to see him bring it live.

You can download the title track “Screws Get Loose” from Those Darlins latest LP at their website.

Also, watch them play the song live in the studio here. Yeah, we’re officially in love with them.

Anyway, the band’s heading off on a European tour right after Fareveller, so let’s give them a proper American sendoff!

Update: Today they just scored an 8 out of 10 from the standard-bearer of critical acceptance that is NME.
