What:
Bad Kitty PresentsReach Around Rodeo Clowns (rockabilly/psychobilly from Lancaster, PA)Wayne Gacy Trio (post punk murder rock from Portland , OR)Monday April 26thRed Fox Tavern415 5th St, Eureka, CA 9550110 PM, $5, 21 Yes, these two bands have the most obnoxious names I have ever hosted. RARCs have been making music since the early 90s. Collectively the members have worked with a ton of folks, including Lee Rocker (Stray Cats), Charlie Gracie (one of the few artists to bump Elvis from a #1 single spot), Robert Gordon (rockabilly godfather), Tom “T-Bone” Edmonds (Lenny Kravitz’s producer), Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits) and Nick Kane (Mavericks). Their music, which blends roots, rockabilly, country and old school punk rock, has been used in film and TV. Expect a wickedly funny and brilliant performance. www.myspace.com/thereacharoundrodeoclowns The Wayne Gacy Trio bills itself as a murder rock band. Sinister and tounge in cheek, these guys have a sound that’s somewhere between Marilyn Manson and Devo. I must admit I’m a little apprehensive, but I’m sure they’re all nice people, right? www.myspace.com/waynegacytrio
