I think somebody mentioned Duff McKagan's new side project already, but I thought I mention this again because it's really good!
They're playing gritty blues rock with a real cool vibe, a bit like Danko Jones but not as frantic and heavy. One reason I like this so much is because of Barrett Martin's (ex-Screaming Trees) groovy drumming. In fact, he and Duff form one of the better rhythim sections I've heard this year.
