Live music photos: Third annual Big Dumb Fest by Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol at Mohawk
Austin hard rock band, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol hosted their third annual Big Dumb Fest on June 14 at legendary Red River Cultural District venue, Mohawk. The self-styled Doom Wop band curates the lineup themselves, hand-picking each local act invited. This year’s roster included Bat Lips, Gus Baldwin and the Sketch, Glime, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, Subpar Snatch and Gran Moreno for an all night affair. BDF included food pop-ups from Bad Larry’s Burgers, Grandpa’s Glizzy’s and Sucio Boy Burgers to feed the hungry hard rock fans attending.
Rickshaw Billie’s features Leo Lydon (vocals/guitar), Sean St. Germain (drums) and Aaron Metzdorf (bass, vocals) has been putting out records since 2017’s Burger Time Classics. Known for their high-energy performances and irreverent tone, the trio always delivers a fun show for hard rock music fans. The group has been touring in support of their latest record, Big Dumb Riffs which dropped in March of this year. The album is available on vinyl, cassette and digitally via the link above. The group began a European tour with The Sword mid-May and plan to head back out with the Austin stoner metal act in August for a U.S. run. See all their tour dates via High Road Touring here.
