Austinist Show Preview: Lick Lick and The Invincible Czars at Room 710

ll.jpg

Lick Lick and The Invincible Czars head up an evening of eccentric rock n’ roll tonight at Room 710. Self classified as “prunk”, the former concentrates on post-punk assembled with catchy guitar riffs and per their MySpace page, “Lick Lick are sure to make prunk a household term in 2007.” The band is set to join the likes of Tia Carrera, Gorch Fock, and Attack Formation on the local Australian Cattle God Records for the release of their upcoming record.

The Invincible Czars churn out an interesting brand of math-rock, heavily influenced by classical music, polka, some country, and even some jazz. A highly energetic and largely original sound, the band’s live show is a fist pumping dance party. The Invincible Czars impressive resume includes arranging music for works like Tchaikovsky's “The Nutcracker Suite” and Mussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain." A studio recording of the Tchaikovsky piece is in the works as well. Also, there is a good chance you’ll hear some random covers at the show -- the band has been known to play songs by artists ranging from Iron Maiden to Roy Orbison. “Infinite Dreams” please!
