When I went to Austin last weekend, we stopped in to a few places off of Guadalupe. On stage at the first bar we went to, was this band that had only 3 members.

The lead singer was a black punk rock chick with dreads, played guitar, and screamed into the mic

The drummer was a black guy with dreads who played only a single drum synth pad and was wailing on them.

The last member was another black guy with dreads and he played the keyboard. His keyboard only played Blip and Bloop like computer noises.

There was only 8 people in the bar and they were all super in to it.

Anybody got some real winners?

I have a few more from Austin I could share.

But the weirdest non-Austin one, and a band I despise, would be Beats Antique

you need to revise your definition of bizarre, they weren't that strange.

Fiery Furnaces were the strangest act I have seen. That one guy was also slightly bizarre/

Gogol Bordello was a bit weird. Probably the weirdest crowd/band combo was when I went to Siberia to see Quintron and this punk band was playing beforehand. Lots o' gutter punks in there.

Beats Antique is strange, saw them in Bham.

The most bizarre for me would be Die Antwerd (sp?) at Voodoo a few years ago.

The opening lyric was "I think about your face when I masturbate". They were singing into these things that were like giant fake dildo things which were strapped from the waists and had a microphone in the end of it.

Also they got the crowd to start chanting some Australian chant which ended up being something about wanting to frick your own mother.

I guess I should mention some dude wearing a shirt with the NBA logo with MDMA on it in place of NBA sold me a couple beans which weren't molly and made me trip for like 13 hours and I was seeing lighting strikes on a clear day and the stage seemed to start levitating. So if someone else was there and I am not remembering the event correctly my bad.

It was Halloween and everything seemed orange and it was like I was in an Island ritual cause somebody had a wilson head right in front of me and I referred to them as the skulls band the whole time. I actually really enjoyed it even though I was terrified 75% of the time they were playing.

It was the year Muse played, I think 2010

That is the truth. Plus after that concert I used the I think about your face when I masturbate multiple times. It's a good line

Kyle Turley's new band Delta Doom was kinda weird. I've seen a band called Band of Orcs where they were all dressed as orcs from LOTR. The costumes were pretty cool. Wesley Willis was kinda bizarre. He played Cut the Mullet 3 times. I guess Gwar could be considered bizarre. Mayhem was certainly different, but cool.

There was a Nola band in the late 90s called Liquidrone that I saw at the Spanish Moon. I saw a review once where they were described as an "electric junkyard orchestra" and that is the best possible way to describe them. They played many different traditional instruments and used lots of non-instruments like pots and pans, water jugs, megaphones, etc. It was really entertaining and their music was actually pretty rad. I wanna say they were LSU music school grads but not positive about that.

Weirdest crowd I have ever been a part of was probably Reverend Horton Heat. Man there were some freak shows in that audience

When was this? Wayne's porn star wife dances around naked on stage during the entire show now. I saw him at the Varsity about two years ago.

Santana was frickin weird. After every 2 songs he kept making speeches about how white people need to back the frick off. I was in Miami though.
