Heavy Meddo at Seven Grand
Post-Punk Cow-Thrash Cosmische band that’s made waves on the TX scene since its 2022 introduction. They’re tough to classify but safe to say - explosive, tight, and just plain right. Featuring Bill Baird, a musician/writer/composer who’s carved out one of the most diverse and under-appreciated trajectories in underground music; Jordan Johns, one of the best rock drummers in the game, DB Tamir, bass thrasher/guitar tech extraordinaire and man with the beautiful hair, and Jonathan Horne, formerly of White Denim, and a legend of the free jazz and improv scenes.
Heavy Meddo's music is an explosive take on TX-style psych and post-punk, in the vein of Butthole Surfers/Scratch Acid meeting the 13th Floor Elevators, with lyrics by erstwhile Texan William S. Burroughs (yes, he was a Texan).
