Big Tex

My last Melvins post had me thinking about other great bands we've seen via academic conferences. One year at Western States in Tempe we opened the local paper and decided Big Tex and the Blazin Pintos with Crack Sabbath opening was it. CS played 80s covers in the style of Black Sabbath. Not the best musicians I've ever seen, but great concept and pretty funny. Along the same lines, Big Tex was pretty funny and good. They play original material in a range of genres and are a party band in the style of Retarded Elf from Austin (early 90s "funk"). Apparently Big Tex is still pretty big in the Southwest. I can see why.

Oh, man, that was a great show. They have great stage presence.

Let's not forget the Gore Gore Girls!
