As a somewhat hetero, cisgendered male-identifying dude with proven bisexual tendencies, I was hoping to see a larger smorgasbord of folks whose gender identities and inclinations didn’t fall into the rigid guidelines of gay/lesbian, but it did feel inviting and very friendly. I loved the festival, though I fear for its future. I hope they can keep things going, because I want to come back next year! Even the port-o-potties were pink, decorated, and amazing.

THE GORIES: IT JUST FRIES YOUR BRAIN

The Gories were ‘primal’ and ‘feral’ and ‘savage’ and all the other words that make an Animal Control officer strap on the special gloves, and they didn’t need anything besides Back From the Grave comps and Thunderbird to chop out a couple dozen songs that sound like they came out of the backwoods solely to hunt for prey. L.A. RECORD is proud to have sucked them in to play our show in Austin this year. This interview by Chris Ziegler.
