Nixon Rodeo CD Release Party Weekend feat. the Backups, the Drone Epidemic, Windowpane

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.
