Once they got the sound issues remedied, this was a pretty kickass show. I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard them play Mountain To Sound.

Sometimes the urge to rock is so overpowering it can cause a total identity crisis: Look at Garth Brooks’ grungy alter-ego Chris Gaines (or better yet, don’t) for an example of what happens when the siren call of a power chord proves too powerful to resist. Thankfully, Austin’s premier string band White Ghost Shivers—whose members go by names like Smokebreak Slemenda and Deathmaster—already live in the land of make-believe, so adopting a new persona for this rare rock show should be a thousand times less awkward than Brooks in that Trent Reznor wig. We’re not sure what will happen when the band tosses out its ‘20s garb and unleashes its metal-head side, but it’s safe to say that headliner and Guitar Hero favorites Lions will have some formidable competition. Opener Peel—whose slacked-out debut fondly recalls a lazy, mid-’90s summer spent smoking weed and listening to Pavement—gets this party started. www.theonion.com
