The Neighbourhood / Travis Scott @ Stubbs 7.18.14

Published: July 22, 2014


Ed. Note: It’s fun to make Charles rationalize the popularity of artists with which he is woefully unfamiliar. Not just the “undergraduate savages” as he likes to exclaim to his Scotch time and again but bands that people, lots of people, real people of all stripes and colors and creeds and genders and linear orientations come sans agenda to enjoy with relish. It freaks him out a bit, but quick, which is fun – for a time – but then he gets lopped off at the hip into some Jandek or Boredoms or Katrina and the Waves kick and then the office goes to hell for a week (goddamn “Walking on the Sunshine”). So how did he react to The Neighbourhood? “That’s groovy, I guess. A little slinky for my tastes but I bet that dude helps a lot of ladies along with their pregnancies.” Travis Scott? “Hip hop and punk share a long ancestry and you just can’t fuck with an Owl Pharaoh so, what? You gonna get Medicaid to pay for my grill?” No, Charles. But here’s some evidence of the tour that took these two troupes to Austin (sadly, all images of White Arrows were lost to technical difficulties) for a bird-flipping, beer-drinking, good look, best time last Friday at Stubb’s courtesy of Ms. Maggie Boyd. Now please dig, if you will, her pictures.
