If you’ve had your ear to the hiss-click-whirr of Austin’s Experimental Music Rumor Mill, then you know by now that The End Times are here. Sad but true, Austin Moose Lodge presents it’s final kablaam this Thursday with head-to-heads from Moose Lodge veterans:
§§, Bassturd vs. Skullcaster, Magic Jewels, FM Campers vs Canadacoda, Os Ovni,
Bubblegumshitface vs Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, Mr. Brown & The Plutonium Farmers
The lodge itself isn’t closing, but will no longer be host to the raucous shows that have made it a veritable clubhouse for a lovable band of avant-outcasts. Over the past couple of years, Austin Moose Lodge has hosted a myriad of sonically challenging acts from across the state, country and globe, typically asking little more than a quick John Hancock in the guest book at the door.
Thanks are due to Polly Smith, Jonathan Horne, Bradford Kinney and other modest moose-hearts for weekly events including but not limited to: Monday night noise, Tuesday group improv, Polly’s pick Thursdays & an unbelievable SXSW 2010 line-up with over 65 bands in a single serendipitous day.
So, let us toast to the end of an error:
