Are you feeling unhinged? Unruly? Perhaps a little reckless? Then stop by Mill City Night’s cozy Nether Bar on December 1st for the Stay Reckless tour featuring well-traveled folk-punks Austin Lucas and PJ Bond and indie-pop singer/songwriter Allison Weiss. For this stop on the tour, Milwaukee-based rocker Trapper Schoepp, who impressed Old 97s fans last week with his band The Shades, will be playing a solo set.
Punk rock seems to be the tie binding Lucas, Bond and Weiss together. Indiana native Lucas, whose album Stay Reckless was released in August on New West Records, played with several punk bands before joining grindcore band Guided Cradle in 2003 and moving to The Czech Republic. After inspiring devil-horns and head-banging with fans all over the world, Austin returned to the States to pursue a new, but familiar direction. After spending his youthful years defying his Americana roots, Lucas (whose father is respected bluegrass musician Bob Lucas) came to embrace it with great success. Lucas played the Americana Music Festival in Nashville in September and will be hitting London for the Americana Music Association Showcase next February. Check out a passionate rendition of his song “Run Around” at his website.
Bond, too, chased the punk rock dream, playing with underground emo-punk band Outsmarting Simon until the band called it quits in 2007. After a few stints in other bands, Bond recorded his first solo album in 2008 and found himself living in his car, playing acoustic shows all over the country. He documented his adventures on his blog Year of a Thousand Roommates (although the action seems to have moved permanently to his Tumblr account) Bond has released a string of records that highlight his keen sense of melody and evolution as a songwriter: 2009’s You Didn’t Know I Was Alphabetical (which is seeing a reissue!), the live 22 April: Vienna, Austria, and a collaboration with his brother Brian Brother Bones/Baby Bones in 2012. Recently, he put out an EP called Ten Degrees and the Floor.
Georgia-based Allison Weiss got bitten by the performance bug after learning some punk rock guitar chords to impress a boy. The boy disappeared, but Weiss wisely continued her musical journey. She released her first full length album …Was Right All Along in 2009 and over the past four years has issued several EPs. In April, she dropped her second LP and first on No Sleep Records, Say What You Mean, a collection of bright power-pop that recalls Tegan and Sara and even a little Letters to Cleo. Along with snagging a slot on the Warped Tour, Weiss has played with an impressive roster of the pop-punk elite: Matt Pryor of the Get-Up Kids, Max Bemis of Say Anything and even recently dearly departed godfather of punk Lou Reed. Weiss recently covered The Magnetic Fields’ lovelorn classic “I Don’t Want to Get Over You” for a split 7” with indie folk singer Jenny Owen Youngs.
The Stay Reckless tour kicks off at the end of November and will go through mid-December!
