This week the War On Drugs rang in the holiday season with their Drugcember To Remember residency at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia, PA. They’ve had surprises all week, including special guests and lots of fun covers. Last night the band was joined by the Eagles’ Joe Walsh for his own “Rocky Mountain Way,” “In The City,” and TWOD’s “Under The Pressure.” Yesterday, for the final night of Drugcember, former co-founding TWOD member Kurt Vile joined the festivities and Joe Walsh returned.
Adam Granduciel and Vile founded TWOD back in 2005 and released their debut Wagonwheel Blues in 2008, and Granduciel was a one-time Violator with Vile. Vile left the band shortly after the pursue his solo music. Last night, Vile joined TWOD to play “Arms Like Boulders” from their debut Wagonwheel Blues. Vile and TWOD also covered the late Bill Fay’s “Pictures Of Adolf Again” and R.E.M.’s “Country Feedback.”
