Just when you thought it was safe, just when you thought this time of year couldn’t get any more filled with those “IfuckinloveAustin” moments, Ben Aqua is back. Ah, Ben. If we were gay men, we would go all NAMBLA on his ass. Assacre. Sigh.
Last year, his experimental, electro-hardcore-metal-hypno-trip of a young man gathered all of his favorite li’l Smurf-friends around for a fun, free festival filled with freaks. (As per Ben, it’s a “bizarro weirdo performance art fest.”) Pha-reeeks. This year, more freaks. More fun. Still don’t cost nothin’.
Awthumfetht Deuxxx, Sun., Mar. 18, The Big Orange, 1303 E. Fourth, 3pm, all day long.
Because sometimes, (and only sometimes) it’s a sequel thing.
The Freaks:
Yip-Yip, Juiceboxxx, MVSCLZ, Wonder Jam Twins, Metakartagraphy, Happysucky, Trillogy, DJ Radicon, and more, more, more. Also featuring visual art by Chad A, Seth Nemec, and the gods who make every day possible and beautiful. Amen.
