Squat Thrust

Longtime denizens of Austin’s “slop-rock” scene, epicentered in Room 710 on Red River, Squat Thrust was one of Austin’s most underappreciated hardcore bands. Born in Lubbock, Texas, 1985, where guitarist and frontman Jimmy Bradshaw met bassist Wade Longenberger at a Black Flag show, the band's central duo relocated to Austin in 1987. Here, they embarked on a decade-plus career of bizarre live shows that sometimes featured a plastic bubble, within which the band played their sloppy-tight post-punk melodies (“Karate” is a particularly charming tune, anticipating Anna Nicole Smith’s “like my body?”). The band’s heyday peaked in the late 1990s, playing alongside such notable and iconic Austin bands as Brown Whörnet and the Pocket FishRmen. The cult-favorite threepiece gigged through early 2004 as Bradshaw also pursued a number of side projects like Sniffy, Unicorn Magic, Voltage, and U.S.S. Friendship. Longenberger committed suicide that spring. The band is immortalized on the bizarre and hilarious low-budget film Rock Opera, a punk rock marijuana caper featuring live performances by Squat Thrust and other beloved, notorious local bands. – Melanie Haupt

Hi Cindy! I forgot to send this to you when I finished, here you go!

The Spoils
Guitar: Kaleb Asplund (Karaoke Underground, Math Patrol, Second Saturday Surf)
Drums: Elena Pinto-Torres (The Smears, Austin Samba)
Bass: Dave Norwood (The Gary)

Influenced by: Surf, punk, noise rock, financial and political corruption, folk music from Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia.

Exploding out of Southern California in the early '60s, "surf" music has mutated constantly since. Once the hip sound of youth, it was cast out as a childish relic by those same young surfers as they grew into late '60s psychedelia, dismissed by no less an icon than Jimi Hendrix. Recast as a square sound for tourists, or at best a retro style for hipsters, surf rock lives on mainly due to the strength of its connection to the sound of reverb-drenched electric guitar.

So surf has a history, but what can it do NOW? That's the question that burns beneath The Spoils' sound, applying familiar Fender reverb to a furious noise rooted in rage at the blatant theft of humanity's wealth and the planet's resources by those who already have too much. Using surf's near-universal populist appeal, The Spoils expand its rhythmic vocabulary beyond beachy backbeats into Brazilian samba, Japanese taiko, Russian folk and gnarled math-rock. Deceptively simple, catchy melodies sweeten the dense layers of feedback and double-picked guitar, with nods to the band's shared love of garage rock and post-punk along the way.

Getting into surf rock can feel like stepping into the Wayback Machine. You're immediately surrounded by Hawaiian shirts and tiki drinks on one side, hot rods and old horror icons on the other, with a generous helping of sci-fi and Space Race memorabilia all round. The Spoils toss all those costumes to the side and start a new kind of dance toward a better future.

"The Spoils are the best example of how to take surfy, dirty, sneaky, nasty rock 'n roll and make it their own. As fun as fun can be. If you get a chance to see them live LIKE I JUST DID, then do it. Bring your dancing ass." - Chad Chooch, Reverb Bomb
