With Chaos in Tejas heading our way like an out-of-control freight train, it’s nice to be reminded of our fair city’s homegrown heavy rockers. Especially considering the relative rarity of a hometown show from Dixie Witch - the hardworking buttrockers spend most of their time on the road. But whenever the trio hits a local stage, you’re assured an old-fashioned, balls-to-the-wall hard rock show, all big-ass riffs, sternum-rattling bass and the inspiring sight of Trinidad Leal singing with barrel-chested abandon while beating his drum kit like it kicked his dog. With three studio LPs in the past decade and a new one on the way from faithful label Small Stone Records, the Witch has plenty of asskickers in its holster to throw down in front of hip headbangers. A guaranteed good time.

Sharing the stage are Fur King, the latest project from former Superheavy Goat Ass guitarist Russell Abbott, and the Roller, who have the distinction of being the loudest band we’ve ever seen anywhere. Feel the sonic wave.

    props for posting about a badass local band that actually has balls, but......buttrockers? who rarely play a hometown show? Sounds like someone's a butt-talker.

    But yeah, anyone who likes the real rock but doesn't know DW should definitely check em out.
