SCA is bringing Texan band RESTAVRANT for a noon-time show in Bruin Plaza on Friday, January 22.
The Echo says it best:
“Restavrant are two screemin freeks—term used so respectfully—from adorable Victoria, Texas, that use expired license plates for drum parts and bodily drag truly addled hillbillyism into the digital age. They engineer a sloppy collision between Hasil Adkins and DJ Assault that boils down to beat, guitar and rooster-at-sunrise screaming, and
behind them the drunkest dancers fall obediently in line.”
