Houston Press: Saturday, July 2, 2005 File this musical event under “other”: Today, Rudyard's will be the site of the first live gig by the local art collective I Love You Baby -- who'll be sharing the stage with J.W. Americana -- for what may go down as one of the oddest musical gigs, um, ever. The eight ILYB performers will enclose the stage with a large vinyl billboard cover, making a box. The only way you'll be able to see said performers cranking out their "Swedish punk and polka," as Rodney Elliot of J.W. Americana and ILYB describes it, is through holes that they'll cut into the vinyl. Of course, your vision may be impaired by all the smoke and bubbles inside, not to mention the "big-ass hot white lights," says Elliot. At some point Elliot will emerge from the box through a sort of slit, wearing a fluorescent, 1980s women's ski jumpsuit and a cowboy hardhat. "It just looks tremendously stupid," he says of the ensemble (no, really?). After a quick solo performance, Elliot will hop back in the box, and ILYB and J.W. Americana will crank out raucous rock numbers on "drums, keyboards, banjo, violin and all sorts of other electronic bullshit," says Elliot. Um...Show starts at 10 p.m. 2010 Waugh Drive. Tickets $8. |
