About this show

The Cold Stares plays The Mint, a 250-capacity small room in Pico-Robertson, on Friday, January 29. Also on the bill: Angela Petrilli and The Players. The show starts at 7 PM. Tickets are $20 plus fees. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (84k listeners, 250 capacity). The Cold Stares also has 1 other date on Go See Shows, in Nashville.

The Cold Stares are just fine with being one of the few modern blues-rock power trios in the world today. Based out of Evansville, Indiana, The Cold Stares continue to explore what it means to be a “modern” blues-rock trio on their upcoming album Texas—paying tribute to the state where so many of their influences like ZZ Top and the Vaughan brothers called home. Initially formed in 2012, The Cold Stares began their career as a duo, but expanded their sonic firepower with the addition of bassist Bryce Klueh in 2022. Fuzzed-out guitars, classic rock guitar riffs, and fleet-fingered Cream-style improvisations abound, as do nods to Delta blues and an emphasis on songwriting and lyricism.
