The latest project from Afghan Whigs' lead guitarist Rick McCollum,
TEXAR plays an intimate 7 p.m. show at the Hot Cakes Gallery tonight.
Anyone expecting the Whigs' lean, sleazy rock won't find it here. McCollum
does double duty on guitar and Theremin, while Darren Brown kicks up some
minimal electronic noises of his own. The resulting sound is dark, difficult
and heavily improvised. Equally experimental artists Karl Paloucek
and Vertonen open.
