Bison Bison, Dirtclodfight, Lamprey

[STONER ROCK] It’s almost as if Club 21 were built around the established lava-lamp jams of Portland’s Bison Bison. The delightfully divey venue fits the trio’s frayed and ferocious ways like a spur does a boot. Bison Bison puts forth a caustic brand of shoot-first-ask-questions-later hard rock that’s brazen enough to wake the sheriff. Granted, it’s a lot of hyphens, but BB moves with such spastic disregard that tagging the band with a singular name would be a disservice to everyone involved. In short, hold on to your hats.
