Hollow Sidewalks: “Lost In Vegas”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Lost in Vegas…Isn’t that the subject of a Hunter S. Thompson novel? Portlandia’s Hollow Sidewalks craft vintage rock sounds with punk textures. The electric guitars crack like a whip on the solos and the blasé vox come to life on the chorus. Shades of The Bangles and barbiturates. What gets lost in Vegas, stays lost in Vegas.
