Thee Headliners

[GARAGE MONSTERS] When guitarist Jeremy Terry and drummer Holly Morgan hit the stage under the moniker of Thee Headliners, there’s an undeniable electricity between the musicians, who forged their two-piece from a broken relationship and spent the last 10 years being overlooked as one of Portland’s best garage acts. Actually, garage hardly does justice for the band’s robust sound, which culminated in last year’s excellent The Kids are Awry. These are two people who know their history, and as a result, Thee Headliners sets are like a rowdy trip through a wayback machine, tossing everything from obscure Elvis songs to surf, blues, country, punk and everything in-between into a glorious cacophony of sound marked by a gritty edge. Moreover, that electricity is contagious, and when it beams out into an audience, it’s impossible not to be lulled into a manic dance trance.
