So, I tracked the band down -- sure enough, Henry Bogdan from Helmet is now 1/4 of the Moonlighters (http://www.moonlightersnyc.com). He actually plays a National steel guitar for the band, some other fellow plays upright bass. The main vocalist is Bliss Blood, who used to be the vocalist for Pain Teens, which I won't pretend to have ever heard of before. I bought their two cds, and I like them quite a bit -- very 30s sounding and mellow. Downright enchanting. My bar tends a bit more to the Hawaiiana side, so it sounds really swell in there. Thanks for the lead, Swanky!
