The Von EhricsApril 14, 9 pm Hank's Saloon 46 3rd Ave. (corner of Atlantic Ave.) Brooklyn, NY exitfive.com/hankssaloon April 15, 9 pm Trash Bar 256 Grand St. between Driggs & Roebling Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY thetrashbar.com  The Von Ehrics: Gabe Aguilar (drums), Jeffery Wayne Mosley (bass guitar) and Robert Jason Vandygriff (vocals/guitar)  The new album, "Whiskey Sessions," out now on Rocket 13 Records The songs on the album are fist-waving, punked-up drinking songs that are reminiscent of the better moments of George Thorogood or early Uncle Tupelo. But more than anything, The Von Ehrics songs recall sped-up, fuzzed-out versions of straight-up country tunes by legends such as Steve Earle, John Prine and Merle Haggard. Their lyrics are about whiskey, women, the road, and not much more--but then, what more do you really need when toting a bottle of Jack and stomping around a rock club in Brooklyn? You can catch the Dallas-based rockers in Brooklyn for two consecutive nights of their tour, as they promote their raucous new release for Charlotte-based indie label Rocket 13 Records. On Saturday, April 14 The Von Ehrics will play at Hank's Saloon on 3rd Ave., with a start time slated for 9 pm. Also on the bill are Uncle Leon & The Alibis (10 pm), Brunch of the Living Dead (11 pm) and Al Duvall (12 midnight). Then on Sunday, April 15 they will be at Trash Bar in Williamsburg, also at 9 pm. Rounding out the bill at Trash Bar are Desoto Rust (10 pm), Dared the Knot (11 pm) and Madison Project at midnight. myspace.com/thevonehrics
