Friday, August 8 In Memoriam: The Exploding Hearts

Followers of the local music scene are no doubt familiar with the story of the Exploding Hearts: in 2003, the Hearts were poised to burst onto the national scene – when the band suffered a devastating car accident, killing most of the young band members.

But in the five years since that accident, the Exploding Hearts’ music has continued to impact the local music scene – and the life of Terry Six, the only member to survive the crash.

Six will be playing a show tonight at Slabtown with early Exploding Hearts songwriter/guitarist Louie Bankston (a junkyard punk legend in his own right). The acoustic set will be all Exploding Hearts songs, and will be the first time Terry has performed those songs in public since the accident five years ago.
