Sun. Oct. 28

 "If you don't want a wild one/Quit hangin' 'round with me," sings one of the three gals who goes by the surname Darlin. Later, another (the same?) Darlin sings, "I'm drivin' nails in my coffin/Every time I drink a bottle of booze/I'm drivin' nails in my coffin/Though I'm drivin' those nails over you." And then there's a song that proclaims proudly, but with some shame, that one of Those Darlins ate a whole damn chicken. "Not just the leg/Not just the wing/The whole damn thing!" They blame it on the booze. Those Darlins are bassist Kelley Darlin, guitarist Jessi Darlin and Nikki Darlin on, yes, baritone ukulele. You'd probably call 'em an alt-country group, but the Darlins opt for pop/2 step/garage on their myspace page. By picking the same last name, the mini-skirted Darlins, of course, reference the brothers Ramone. A gang. In it together. All equal. As Kelley says, “I think we approach things in a unique way, a very egalitarian way, where there’s not the lead singer and ego and all that.”Or as Nikki puts it, “We perform, the three of us, and we’re straight in a row on the front of the stage.  No one’s holding back.”  I'd say that punk rock informs their attitude, but this trio from Murfreesboro, Tenn. - which has a drummer of indeterminte gender somewhere in the mix - is a country group in the same way the Knitters is a country group.. They play Great Scott Sat. Oct. 28. Tix: $12. With Heavy Cream and the Fagettes.
