Antietam + Dump + Rattle

The Louisville, KY–bred Antietam has been around since the early ’80s, always refining its preternatural rock chemistry. Through thick and thin, at the head of the band lies Tara Key's fierce, high-drama guitar work, showcased on the group's most recent LP, 2008's Opus Mixtum. Playing first: Dump, the long-running, ever-shifting band anchored by James McNew, also of Yo La Tengo.
