restaurant returns to the chat room monday night!

this from the chat room:

If you were lucky enough to see our sunday show, then you know all about Stoogeaphilia, Spindrift and Stella Rose.

If you were lucky enough to be here right at last call, then you saw Restaurant, our last minute addition to the bill.

Restaurant is a two-piece originally from Victoria TX, but now LA. Troy plays Banjo, Dobro and Acoustic slide and crams vocals from the underbelly of something like Garage down the throat of a wretched mic. Jonathen plays some synth and beat machine, and beats the shit out of a found object drum kit with arm-length 1" dowels (watch out for flying wood chips). His kit is license plates for a hi-hat, the hood of a car for a snare, a wooden box lined with women's unerthings for a kick drum, a metal gas can for a tom, and the wheel rim from some hoopty as a ride, but this might all be different by Monday. This shit is amazing to watch, and sounds like an erratic but tender stabbing.

There were only about 40 people here for their set, but everyone in the room knew they had just seen one of the coolest acts tom come through Fort Worth.

You really need to check out Restaurant (link from our top friends) and make sure to be here on St. Patty's Day for what will truly be a rad lineup.
