   About RQ
R.Q. was created in August of 1967 by cultural icons Rex Thourn and Ty Bigby of Prog/Psychedelia masters Exploding Medusa. Rex and Ty had grown tired of the direction of E.M., claiming E.M. had "sold out", due to the increased use of instruments. The remaining members of Exploding Medusa went on to form seminal pop outfit Love Palace, garnering critical acclaim and minimal commercial success, but further fueling the fire of Thourn and Bigby to produce the most avant-garde and creative sounds ever. Some of their earlier recordings can be found if one is to dig meticulously through used vinyl in second hand stores and aging hippies attics. R.Q. toiled in obscurity through numerous lineups and incarnations, while all who were involved moved onto to hugely successful solo careers. R.Q. was meant to be the antithesis of all this commercial consumerism: A glaring middle finger to those who require listening enjoyment out of their music, rather than pure artistic expression. Thourn and Bigby spawned a horde of illegitimate children before both disappeared in early 1979 after performing their final stunt: a suicide sex party consisting of only themselves, apparently to dispell the rumors that they were homosexual. Enter Garth Middleston. Garth had been manager, number one fan, and spiritual adviser all throughout R.Q.'s explosive career. In 2004, Garth arranged to have D.N.A. tests done on every musical genius between the ages of 4 and 40 in the United States. This resulted in a startling discovery that amazed even Garth, a man not easily amazed, he having been a part of the most influential musical experience ever. The three current members of R.Q.-"Man Philanderer", "Great Pardons", and the mysterious "T"-all have exactly the same biological make-up: a mix of Rex Thourn and Ty Bigby. Garth gathered Man, Great, and T together and gave them a crash course in R.Q. history. Then he gave them a choice. The choice was whether to let the genius of R.Q. fade into the annals of history or to revive what their biological fathers had poured their entire creative beings into. There was no choice. Some have publicly criticized Middleston, claiming the beauty of R.Q. will be lost if the modern public gets to experience the magic, claiming the younger generation doesn't understand what R.Q. really stands for. Others claim that the extreme prowess of this new biologically entwined supergroup will outshine the original greatness so much that the greatness of the original will seem to be not so great in comparison to the overwhelming majesty present now. I say decide for yourselves. You don't want to miss out on the artists that will be remembered centuries from now. Living in your lifetime are three genius creators that will be filed along with the Bach's, Mozart's, and Beethoven's of the past. Don't miss what will be the greatest experience ever... -Rodney Teaberry

Photobucket It's an early show which is perfect for everyone. If you're old, you can still make it to bed by 10:30. If you're young, you can still be drunk by midnight! We play around 8 PM. *S=W does not advocate alcohol abuse.

Josh and Tim's side project playing hits from the 70's, along with a bunch of other bands. We've got some fun surprises for you. All proceeds go to the costs for Velvet Jones to become all-ages. I think we play around 10 PM. If you missed the 80's night, you really can't miss this one. Photobucket
