For those not familiar with Daikaiju we think it’s best to go with how they describe themselves,
“Who is the Daikaiju??? Premium action heroes deliver most high rocket music! Special reverb skill combo for full impact! Loud sonic boom for earful pleasure! Beautiful radiation of hyper-dimensional springy sound creates divine psychic wind for your special defense! Worship Psycho-surf band Daikaiju daily for good luck and health!”
Our good friends Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires stopped by Egans in route to some little get together in Austin Texas called SXSW or something. So check out some good old fashioned rock with a light dusting of southern flavor. We love these guys even if Lee is a booger eater (Auburn Fan for those not in the know).
If there is one thing we love it’s a shit hot steel guitar and great song writing. Luckily The Futurebirds have both. Enjoy sample for yourself from their recent show at Egans.
As most of you know the first Sunday bars were allowed to serve drinks in Tuscaloosa was last weekend. Egans manned up with a dance party, Blaine Duncan and a performance by Tuscaloosa’s sweethearts Baak Gwai. Here Baak Gwai preforms Milo, a song named for one of the coolest kids ever.
Before “The Tuscaloosa Glosabi Challenge” we were lucky enough to have Dead Fingers and The Howlies up in the wllthatscool.com studio. Last week we released a cut by Dead Fingers and this week we are proud to drop an acoustic cut by The Howlies. The Howlies are an Atlanta based band that blends several musical styles. Spin magazine had this to say;
“Drawing influence from rock’n'roll’s greats — from the Velvet Underground’s loose jangle and the Stooges’ brash punk to Chuck Berry’s ’50s teen boogie and Sam Cooke’s candy-coated doo-wop — Atlanta, GA, quartet Howlies’ upcoming debut, Trippin’ with Howlies, is like a rock history textbook written by the classroom’s smart alecs. “
This Friday at Egans they will be joining Tuscaloosa sweethearts Baak Gwai and Lafayette LA. based Brass Bed (Great band watch their new awesome video here) which will be one of the best shows we’ve seen in a while so come support great music. Until then enjoy an acoustic version of The Howlies “Tie me up and throw me down”
