Think Tank Last night at Stubb's , in front of an audience of mostly family and old friends, Prescott Curlywolf played what was probably their last club gig. I think the show lasted about 90 minutes, but because the performance warped the time-space continuum until we were free-floating in a parallel dimension, that's only a guess. The setlist ( pictured below ) featured cuts from 3 of their 4 albums, with Six Ways To Sunday , Funanimalworld , and Arkadelphia all represented. Sorry Dang . In addition, [...]
As we transition from summer to fall, I think it's only appropriate that we kick summer's angry ass out the door Adios Lounge style. Here's a compilation of music that's helped keep me sane during a summer of continuous 100+ degree weather. I think it's a good mix of soul and rock, but those designations are a bit loose. The soul stuff rocks and the rock stuff has soul, so everyone wins. Incidentally, if someone asked you what the Adios Lounge sounds like, you could probably do worse than send them this mix. I'll [...]
Prescott Curlywolf - Mariposa [ purchase ] "Don't you cry, Mariposa Flutter by, butterfly You will live for awhile, then you'll die." I loved Prescott Curlywolf for many reasons, not the least of which was their ability to pack 3-4 minutes worth of song in less than 2 minutes. If 1:27 was all a song needed, then that's all it got. "Mariposa" was just such a song. It barely missed the cut in my Prescott piece from last November. Written and sung by bassist, Tim Kinard, [...]
Prescott Curlywolf - Dignity Of Action [ purchase ] We return the mothership to the Curlywolves of Prescott, previously heralded around these parts in appropriately reverential tones. According to my buddy, Ducktaper, Rob Bernard said the lyrics to "Dignity" came from a book of poems written by inmates at an insane asylum. Weird enough for you? What if I told you these inmates were actually ... ZOMBIE CANNIBALS?!?!?! Send more cops. Hear more Prescott.
Rob Bernard (front and center): guitar, vocals Ron Byrd (left): guitar, vocals Tim Kinard (right): bass, vocals Keith Langford (not pictured): drums, percussion Chris Deaner (in back): drums, percussion Hometown: Austin, TX The original version of this post appeared on Star Maker Machine . However, writing that post got me thinking that Prescott deserved a more expansive overview. So, here we are. While you may not have heard of them, Prescott Curlywolf was a beacon of real-deal rock 'n' roll righteousness in an era ... [...]
Prescott Curlywolf - Think Tank [ purchase ] "Placated angst, what for? The strings that tethered me Vacated sleeves that I've worn No foot on the brakes, no foot on the brakes for me." As the years pass, I'm convinced that Prescott Curlywolf is the greatest band to ever come out of Austin, TX -- at least within the last 25-30 years. Granted, the Butthole Surfers have a strong argument, Scratch Acid, The Dicks, and Big Boys have the entrenched nostalgia of old-school punks on their side, Spoon gets the [...]
