Black Bananas + Bosco Delrey + Wild Yaks

Black Bananas is the new name for Jennifer Herrema's RTX combo (which was born out of Washington, D.C., noise-rock band Royal Trux). Despite the changed moniker, she continues to ply '80s-style hard rock on her newest disc, Rad Time Xpress IV (Drag City). Setting the stage are the Mad Decent–signed Bosco Delrey, who fuses his Sun Records fetish with a crunk edge and the trappings of experimental music, and uncommonly poignant roots-music crew Wild Yaks.
