The Hellblinki Sextet
The brainchild of former Savannah resident (and Rogue’s Gallery member) Andrew Benjamin, this Augusta-based collective plays dark and addled Vaudevillian blues strongly influenced by both old-timey gypsy flair and the European cabaret tradition. Their rotating lineup employs everything from toy instruments to transistor radios and empty wine bottle-percussion, and as such, their songs aim squarely for fans of the creepy burlesque-and-sea chanty vibe of Swordfishtrombones-era Tom Waits, while also appealing to devotees of Tim Burton’s crepuscular fantasy world. Openers Monsters of Japan adore Clutch and play quirky metal while in Kabuki-inspired regalia. Sat., 10 pm, The Jinx.
