I’m not usually one for black coffee, unless you’re referring to the otherBlack Coffee; the one that debuted at number one on the ARIA charts and dominated for six weeks after its release last September.

Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes have brewed up a musical storm, their previous two alums, 2009’s Ballad Of A Young Married Man and 2012’s Shadow of the Gun, garnering critical acclaim. Their latest release has already been compared to the lyrical brilliance of Paul Kelly and Nick Cave, the raw energy of the live recordings on Black Coffee proving highly contagious. Lachlan Bryan and The Wildes bring their alternative country tunes to Name This Bar on Friday February 14. Can you have the set on soy? No, dude.
