Another Excuse to Get Drunk

Filed under: Imported

Grand Champeen wrap up their three-night Twin Cities stand this evening at the Turf Club. I caught their gig Saturday night at the Triple Rock and--even though I was half plowed and completely exhausted--they once again made my socks roll up and down with their ferocious meat-cleaver rock n' roll.

The Austin, Texas quartet also made an appearance at Grand Young Day at the Turf (which, by the way, was wall to wall drunken loons) on Sunday. But they were rumored to still be fourth in the queue to pay homage to Neil when I took off at 11 or so.

Tonight they'll be sharing a bill with Two Cow Garage. The last time these two packs of degenerates played together in town they joined forces to usher in last call with an absurd six guitar, three bass (give or take an instrument) cover of "Freebird" that concluded with the drum kit being demolished. (For photographic evidence of the destruction at Lee's go here.) Unfortunately there were probably more folks on stage than in the audience to witness this mayhem.
