    Hot Luck presents Iceage, Temple of Angels

    When someone says Iceage is cool, they mean Jim Morrison or River Phoenix cool, as in a looming sense of mystery that even Richard Hell and Iggy Pop aren’t immune to. Speaking with frontman Elias Bender Rønnenfelt over the phone, one quickly realizes they’re not cool. The Danish punk outfit consisting of Rønnenfelt, Johan Surrballe Wieth (guitar), Jakob Tvilling Pless (bass), and Dan Kjær Nielsen (drums), stoke that inscrutability with a magnetic hodge-podge of sleazy rock and moody jazz made urgent by Rønnenfelt’s existential lyrics.: “Through sheer practice or trial and error, fortunately, I discovered that [lyrics] were something that could really be fleshed out,” Rønnenfelt says. “Something I could have a great interest in.”: Latest album Beyondless proves Iceage’s most compelling yet. They introduce a cinematic hue to their DIY exterior. “Showtime” relates a performer offing himself over gaudy trumpets and “Pain Killer” features Sky Ferreira packaging a love story in dark rock, all while maintaining the uninhibited angst of their three previous studio LPs.: “We try to keep things a little mysterious to ourselves and not analyze too much what our band is and what our band can do. We just try to get led by that gift that comes to us and act upon whatever immediate impulse shows up in our collective minds.”: The quartet stops for barbecue in Austin before a world tour in November. Long commutes leave little room for sanity.: “We don’t always keep ourselves from going crazy,” admits the singer. “In the worst of moments, you just sort of have to hold on to whatever sanity you have left, remind yourself that it’s temporary.”: Read our fill interview with Elias Bender Rønnenfelt at austinchronicle.com/daily/music

    Killer Girls

    Whoa, that American Berserk Theatre company, first bringing the world their dystopian blockbuster Subject to Control, then following it with For Time and Eternity (about that whole Joseph-Smith-and-the-Mormons thing), now presenting this pop horror revenge comedy – written and directed by Kaci Beeler – in which five female students on the Fruit Ninja Team of John Wilkes Booth University are invited to a tournament in #grabherbythepussy, Florida, and, ah, well, listen: Payback's a bitch. (A rabid, extremely bloodthirsty bitch, we might add.) Warning note: Gore effects, strobe lights, loud music, themes of high violence and sexual assault, possibly the lamentation of any MRA in the audience. Recommended? See what that Robert Faires has to say about it.
    Through May 27. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $20-25.

    Polly Mermaid: Apocalypse Wow!

    This bright spectacle from Glass Half Full Theatre bangs into existence with Indigo Rael as her alter ego Polly Mermaid, princess of the Pacific Garbage Patch, and Katy Taylor as Deborah Déguderè, the particle physicist who builds a tunnel through space and time. The show – a hero's journey with a feminine twist, a parable for the rights of all creatures big and small, a campy romp through particle theory – is replete with not-for-kiddies puppetry and an original score by Mother Falcon. Intrigued? Here's our full review of the show.
    Through June 9. Thu.-Sun., 8pm. $15-35.

    Lucky Stiff

    Here's that musical comedy by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, in which an unassuming English shoe salesman inherits $6 million from an American uncle. But there's a catch: He has to take a vacation to Monte Carlo with his uncle’s embalmed body and convince folks that the man’s still alive. Michael McKelvey directs, and the cast is scary good.
