So I missed the NFC Championship to see Ghost, but should I skip the Super Bowl for some Slow Southern Steel?

I gotta say, I’ve been pretty stoked for Slow Southern Steel ever since I first heard of the concept a couple years back.

And now that the film’s finally ready for release, they’re taking the show on the road, with screenings in 19 US cities opening for Zoroaster and sludge supergroup Hail! Hornet (feat. Dixie Dave, T.Roy et al). To say that I’m awfully tempted would be an understatement…
