Big Wheel Stunt Show
SXSW SATURDAY, MARCH 20 ITINERARY >>>
I realize the last thing people at home in the South Sound want to hear me do is complain, but a check of the trusty iPhone reveals it's beautiful today in T-town, and Austin is currently mired in the 50s with an ever-constant threat of rain. It's literally COLD at SXSW today - which considering the suitcase full of warm weather clothes I packed - is thoroughly fucked, at least in my humble opinion.
But never fear, the Weekly Volcano trudges on. Wherever there's a drink and a band to keep us warm is where we'll be - or, specifically, the shows below:
BIG WHEEL STUNT SHOW: The Tacoma band plays the Electra Music Showcase today at 5 p.m. They've been on my radar all week, and I have yet to catch up with the band. This simply must change today. As soon as I leave the comfy (warm) confines of the Convention Center, I'll be in hot pursuit of the BWSS.
GUN OUTFIT AND BROKEN WATER: Two Oly bands play within 15 minutes of each other tonight. It may be a tall feat, but I'm going to try my best to catch a song or two from both - or at the very least catch up with them post show. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll let you know tomorrow how it goes.
VISQUEEN: With the release of the acclaimed Message to Garcia, Seattle's Visqueen - led by the always-awesome Rachel Flotard - firmly cemented itself. While the band might have initially garnered buzz because it included Kim Warnick of Fastbacks fame - those days are long over, but the appeal of Visqueen is stronger than ever. Flotard has more than enough chops to carry the band, and with partner in crime drummer Ben Hooker, the band is simply unstoppable. As fun as it is pure, Visqueen will play tonight at Habana Calle 6.
THE OH SEES: I've been a fan of Cali's The Oh Sees since seeing the band in Portland. A garage-rocky creation of John Dwyer (see: Coachwips), the Oh Sees are always entertaining live - and it's been a while since I've had a chance to see what they're up to. That all changes tonight.
JAY MACIS: Dinosaur Jr. Enough said. Maybe Thurston Moore will join him on stage again tonight? I'm expecting epic guitar.
PEELANDER-Z: If we make it long enough, Japan's Peelander-Z - no strangers to Hell's Kitchen - take the stage at Headhunter's tonight at 1:15 a.m. Is there a better way to close out SXSW than Japanese anime-rock? Probably not. ...
