The Sad Bear: Heartless Bastards

Heartless Bastards

Anyone else see the Heartless Bastards on Letterman? Super raw for a TV performance -- especially the thumping and jangly drums (a la JDunn). I dig.

Were they connected to the Black Keys in some way?

UPDATE:

Heartless Bastards are playing tonight in my zone, and according to an interview on local radio, they were from Akron, but most recently worked with the Spoon producer in Austin.
