Lo-fi living...
THE WIGGINS have played these cool as f*** bands: DANIEL JOHNSTON, GANG GANG DANCE, INDIAN JEWERLY, THE BLACK LIPS, KONG SAUCE, STEREO TOTAL, QUINTRON, FINALLY PUNK, RUA MINX, TIMES NEW VIKING, and GLASS CANDY!+ some others(you know who you are!!).... played at SXSW 2007, yeah, rad.. And here's a recent review from PUNK PLANET!!! check it:
Part electro surf punk from outer space, part David Lynch outtake, and part home brewed garage opiate, I'm not exactly sure what The Wiggins are, but whatever it is, it's in' rad. Think the redefinition of lo-fi, Lou Reed in a garage disposal, Johnny Thunders'vampire alter-ego, leper underwear parties, and successful amateur noir snake charming. Rumor has it there's just one local Houstoner behind all this madness, which makes the effort even more impressive. This is the stuff of magic that gluttonous hipster vultures and college radio DJs will be getting all weak the knees about once Pitchfork clocks in a 8.372, so do yourself a favor and get it while it's fresh. (BM)
yeah, i was just about to send you a message. we just can't seem to win. it sucks too because the other bands were as psyched as we were to be playing and from what i'm hearing through the grapevine we were going to get a decent draw.
