Premiere: Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol Take You to “Clowntown”
It’s the inherent dichotomy of music, man. One minute you could be jamming an 11-minute epic about some 18th century epic poem full of time signature changes and operatic vocals. Then the next, you’re jamming to a 90-ish second tune with maybe one or two riffs total. Both are equally awesome in their own right, though the latter is exactly the type of thing Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol has brought for us today.
We’re no stranger to Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and their irreverent ways. They’ve gotten us to “Whip It Around”, which was fun. Then they got us to jam some “Peanut Butter Snack Sticks” down our gullets. Now we’ve got a musical ode about their hometown Austin, Texas from the Doom Wop trio. The track is featured on their most recent album release Big Dumb Riffs, which you can get your hands on right now.
If you’ve heard enough of the “polished” album release and instead want to see them live and unfiltered, you can do that by checking out the list of tour dates they’ve got lined up in the U.S. starting this month, followed by an E.U. and U.K. run this spring. You can get your tickets today.
