Swimwear Department / LOOLOWINGEN (Tokyo) / EMP

Swimwear Department has spent the past six years relentlessly crafting crowd-rousing dance-punk anthems exclusively about two topics: swimming pools and shopping malls. Fans frequently attend shows in full poolside regalia and enjoy shout-alongs, limbo contests, and improvised line dances. LOOLOWINGEN AND THE FAR EAST IDOTS - Tokyo-based avant-punk/alternative-blues trio sounds like an ink wash painting. This genre-bending punk night will mark the end of the Texas leg of their US tour. EMP is a Punk/Jazz Fusion band based in Houston, Texas. Equal parts Killing Joke, Frank Zappa, and Black Flag, EMP literally brings the vibes.
