PLAZA MIDWOOD PIG PICKIN’

The Plaza Midwood Pig Pickin’ is packed with good-time local bands. The rabble-rousing Heartland rock of Temperance League is as broad as the Midwest. The swaggering power-pop of AM/FM’s recalls The Ramones. The honky-tonk rock of Amigo pairs the hip-shaking swagger of The Stones with the econo jams of The Minutemen. The voraciously variegated Hectorina’s polyglot pop-rock touches on a host of styles in stitching together Dylan Gilbert’s wild ideas. (Patrick Wall)
