Dollar Store

Stemming in part from Chicago's beloved alt-country sextet <a href="spotify:artist:1FJkZkRR5uu59CuuBh1cyu">the Waco Brothers</a>, Dollar Store comfortably fit into the country genre, but are truly a rock band through and through. Dollar Store are comprised of <a href="spotify:artist:1FJkZkRR5uu59CuuBh1cyu">the Waco Brothers</a>' rhythm section (bassist Alan Doughty and drummer Joe Camarillo) as well as co-<a href="spotify:artist:1FJkZkRR5uu59CuuBh1cyu">Waco Brothers</a> frontman Dean Schlabowske, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:1QSEKTN8PPjVzniAkpJ90p">Dave Alvin</a> from <a href="spotify:artist:5dr7fkIRO4K14g7U8SCue5">the Blasters</a>, and pedal steel big-shot <a href="spotify:artist:78xKrnJPFxaHQPvF0HKf96">Jon Rauhouse</a>. Dollar Store gained acclaim after pleasing performances at Austin's South by Southwest festival and the 2003 CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. In 2004, the group released its self-titled debut, which was met with some criticism in comparison to Schlabowske's work with <a href="spotify:artist:1FJkZkRR5uu59CuuBh1cyu">the Waco Brothers</a>, on Bloodshot Records. A second effort, Money Music, appeared from the same label in 2007. ~ Megan Frye, Rovi
