Eight Gigs: Weedeater
Sat., April 29, 7 p.m., Starlite Lounge, $20-$25
North Carolina’s stoner metal merchants Weedeater are back as part of a totally stacked bill that includes The Obsessed, Primitive Man, Fatso Jetson and Karma to Burn. Nearly every genre is on the menu, including (but not limited to) stoner metal, doom, desert rock, punk and even instrumental fare. Weedeater’s Dixie Dave is a sight to behold, looking much like a Duck Dynasty character and playing bass at a ridiculously loud volume. He also has an affinity for cough syrup (which he chases with hard liquor). If the Weedeater boys are in town, you know it’s going down. 1517 21st Street, www.weedmetal.com.
