Hickoids w/Wonderlick and Cutthroat

Hickoids embark on 5,000 mile “Sasquatch Stroll” of Western US mid-August

Texas-based cowpunk legends the Hickoids begin a fourteen night run of shows August 13th in Santa Fe that will seem them hit venues in Southern California, the Bay Area, the Pacific Northwest (including a headlining slot at the Seattle garage-fest Bigfoot Stomp) and the upper Rockies.

Much like their fabled cryptozoological kin, known alternately as “Bigfoot” “Sasquatch” and “Yeti”, the all-too-real Hickoids walk upright, display many other human characteristics and are known for an outsized affinity for corn and neon light. Hickoids are not nearly as shy as their cousins with verifiable sightings across the United States, Canada and Western Europe in both urban and rural settings over the past four decades. It began one night in 1984 with an opening slot for Black Flag and Meat Puppets in San Antonio, Texas and continues to this day at punk clubs, roadhouses, honky tonks and festivals across the planet.

Fans and curiosity seekers can expect Hickoids to perform material from across their catalog of albums

including ‘Hairy Chafin’ Ape Suit’

‘Waltz A-Cross-Dress Texas’ , their debut album ‘We’re In It For The Corn’ (which will see a 40th anniversary remix/master release this year) and a variety of as yet unreleased material from across the sub-species' off-colorful and chaotic history, which includes an induction to the Austin Music Hall of Fame in 2014. Saustex Records will drop the band’s new single ‘Slither On’ on July 11th.

Wonderlick's two founding members, Jay Blumenfield and Tim Quirk, came together in December 2000 to record free music for a website. The two had previously performed together under different guises (most notably as one half of the smart punk-pop outfit Too Much Joy), but this new project resulted in a concept album that was crafted over the course of a year. Using the Internet, Wonderlick released free individual songs from the project until the album was finished, and included friends such as Spark vocalist Wendy Allen and magician Penn Jillette in the process. The album was ultimately released by Future Farmer Recordings in 2002, followed seven years later by the duo's second effort, Topless at the Arco Arena. ~ Bradley Torreano, Rovi
