Ain't no party like a weirdo party 'cause a weirdo party always rocks...
Hanging out in the lobby of the Alamo Ritz after Music Monday was a serendipitous moment. I spoke with and hugged one of the outrageous HUG dancers who thanked me for the three-disc retro review of HUG in Whoopsy! What a great memory he has, because that was a few years ago, when the Make Austin Weirder Fest was just a tiny, freaky toddler. Oh, and how it is growing into a big freak music fest, one worthy of a mention in national press. (See SPIN Magazine, July '06.) And this summer, according to the Austin Chronicle: "Hug leads the [freak] parade, with Lick Lick, Attic Ted, the Jazzus Lizard, and more in tow."

You can get weirder all day long this Saturday, 6 September at Lovejoy's starting at 3 pm. HUG hits the stage around 11 pm, but you probably want to get there early to get your freak on with lounge quartet The Jazzus Lizard, ambient experimental rocker Steve Marsh, also known as Radar Cave, diy revolution artists of the month (July) Attic Ted, a punk/country band that could be Napoleon Dynamite's worst enemy - Zero Skills, Inc., freaky death metal outfit Death Hell Battle Tank, the psychedelic riffing of Crapulence, and Lick Lick, the rock 'n' roll band that has been kicking ass since a tour of Japan, performing at 10 o'clock. Oh - I almost forgot to mention: It's FREE!
