My-Tea Kind

---

The Paine sisters have been playing music together since they were younguns - on bass, drums and washboard, no less. Performin under the name My-Tea Kind since 2004, the Tahlequah, Okla., act recently won the Wakarusa battle of the bands (Battlerusa) at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, and went on to win the "upgraded" competition in Lawrence. The quartet (which also includes guitarist James Townsend) cites influences ranging from Taj Mahal and Neww Grass Revival to Violent Femmes and Jane's Addiction. My-Tea Kind performs at 10 p.m. at The Bottleneck, 737 N.H.
