Caddywhompus

Way, way back in 2010, i was in Houston for the Free Press Summer Fest, then a burgeoning music festival, and on a whim caught a blistering performance by a band i had never heard of from Baton Rouge.  And Caddywhompus absolutely slayed it for their small crowd.  I caught them again the next year at the same festival on the same stage as they powered through their mix of punk, indie rock, and angular guitar riffs in tepid 100 degree heat.  Since then, i make it a point to try and catch them whenever they come to central Texas...which hopefully won't be too long from now as the duo have a new album out in April on Inflated Records.  Listen to "Decent" below and get the "Odd Hours" LP here.

I first saw New Orleans avant-noise duo Caddywhompus in 2010 at the Free Press Summer Fest in Houston.  Despite the heat and the rain, they killed it, making a ruckus and blasting the earholes of the hundred or so people watching them on the small, parking lot stage.  It was with much excitement and glee that i caught them a year later...at the same festival...on the same stage...in front of the same group of sweaty fans, this time in blistering, near 110 degree heat, and they killed it again.  Naturally i bought their record, and then never heard from them again.  Until now.  The duo are set to unleash their sophomore effort, "Feathering A Nest," in November on Community Records.  Listen to the noisy, but blissful "Stuck" below.  Glad to have these guys back in the fold.
