Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta w/ Cliff & Ivy, Mean Motor Scooter, Living Pins, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Ghost Wolves, the Beaumonts, Pussy Gillette, Sean Wheeler, Hickoids, Jane Woe, Ginny Mac, Lost Knobs, Hamell on Trial, Harvey McLaughlin
Cult icon to primal rock aficionados, Tav Falco’s Panther Burns – formed in 1979 Memphis with Alex Chilton on guitar – stirred up a vision of raw Southern roots music that’s resonated with the no-wavers, garage-ists, and psychobillies ever since. The group’s irrepressibly artistic, 78-year-old leader, a fanciful character who tangos and directs black-and-white films, still conjures a one-of-a-kind performance with a haunted voice and crack Italian band. He headlines ACL – Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta – with a stacked-to-the-max 15-act lineup that includes Throw Rag/Sean & Zander singer Sean Wheeler leading the Fake Emos, trashy punk trio Pussy Gillette, devil-worshipping honky-tonkers the Beaumonts, post-country ensemble Jane Woe, rumbling garage duo the Ghost Wolves, and corn-toothed cowpunk hosts the Hickoids. – Kevin Curtin
