Nixon Rodeo CD Release Party Weekend feat. the Backups, the Drone Epidemic, Windowpane
When: Fri., Sept. 25, 7 p.m. 2015
Sometimes, one night just isn’t enough. So it’s understandable that for the release of Nixon Rodeo’s third studio album, the Spokane hard rockers are performing two nights in a row at the Big Dipper and featuring different local openers at each show. Nixon Rodeo’s new album, recorded at Amplified Wax, continues the band’s forward momentum — they played the Warped Tour at the White River Amphitheater in Auburn last month. Aptly named Relentless, the record moves between power-pop rock and screamo and lyrically focuses on a theme of never giving up. “Now You Got My Attention” and “Back and Forth” are incredibly catchy and will certainly excite the band’s fans. The four-piece’s album ends with a rousing rendition of “Billie Jean” — and hey, the Michael Jackson cover angle worked for Alien Ant Farm.
