Earlier this week, Popper Burns headed to Cheer Up Charlie’s to do a tape release party for their mind blowing self-titled LP, a work that we feel stands out as one of the defining statements of Austin’s current weirdo punk wave. This wasn’t any old party, though. Popper Burns brought along fellow sex punk agitators Critical Dad, whose EP New Parents we’ve also been enjoying, longstanding Ovrld faves SUPER THIEF and newcomers Pleasure Venom, whose darker post-punk material is very promising. Anyway, what we’re getting at is that there was no way in hell we wouldn’t be on hand to document this show. Our Senior Punk Reporter Ashley Bradley took some wild and woolly shots of the proceedings. A note: Ashley said that there are fewer pics of SUPER THIEF than normal because the boys were too tired from seeing Death Grips just beforehand, and knowing Jay and Cody of SUPER THIEF, that sounds 1000% accurate to me.
