    Montaz, Gus Baldwin & the Sketch, Bad Markings

    Thirty seconds ago, I thought this was a speedy garage band slamming away in the great divide between Nuggets and Goner Fest as Gus Baldwin played wrist-cripplingly frantic barre chord progressions while discharging echoey, staccato shouts into Shure 57. Now, a liquid acid double guitar riff melts into a bass breakdown over which jangle-addict David Rawlinson – looking like teenage Kurt Cobain – delivers a spoken word dream synopsis then falls into a Iggy Pop backbend. A bouncy jam, spiked with Sixties organ, eventually settles into an homage of Santana’s “Oye Como Va.”: It’s the second hump-day of Gus Baldwin & the Sketch’s residency at Hotel Vegas and I’m blown away. The quintet of familiar faces, including Black Angels/Rotten Mangos multi-instrumentalist Ramiro Verdooren, has an impressive stockpile of material for a new project; a flair for fast, catchy, almost power-pop hooks lifted by bassist Lucas Martins’ oohs & aaahs; and a primo drummer in Trey Gutierrez from Cosmic Chaos. The SG wielding Baldwin, cut from spindly rockstar DNA, ringleads with punk energy.: GB&tS’s monthong residency concludes Wednesday with the cerebrum-scraping experimental songsters Bad Markings and wild-n-heavy bass and drums duo Montaz.

    National Wine Day with William Chris

    Of course the obvious question is, "Isn't every day national wine day?" We won't argue; we'll just point out that William Chris Wine Company is hosting a virtual wine tasting with Chris Brundrett of William Chris Vineyards and Andrew Sides of Lost Draw Cellars on this day. You'll hear each winemaker talking about their unique winemaking style and what characteristics that style leads to, all while you sip a selection of Texas-grown wine.
