Dirty Projectors @ Red 7 (7/15)

dirty_projectorsWe have no idea why such a hyped band would be playing at such a small place, but Dirty Projectors are coming to town at Red 7 on Wednesday night.  We also just read that Greg Ginn, like THE Greg Ginn, like the guy that founded Black Flag, will be opening.  Opening?  Yeah don’t get that one either… Local acts The Laughing and DJ Sean O’Neal will also be on hand for opening support.  Tickets are on sale now for $13 but are sure to sell out soon.

Meat Puppets @ Waterloo Today!

20070823music_meatpuppets_500In the mid-eighties, Greg Ginn’s SST Records built up an incredible reputation for raucous punk bands by the likes of Husker Du, Minutemen, & Descendents.  Phoenix’s Meat Puppets stood out from the manic pack, combining a unique blend of punk, country, and psychedelic rock.  The Pups still have a loyal fan base in Austin tracing back to the good ol’ days of Liberty Lunch.  To comemorate the release of their new record Sewn Together, Meat Puppets will be playing a free in-store at Waterloo Records.  Be there at 5… Free keg beer!  Here’s latest single “Rotten Shame”.
