Acid King "Busse Woods" 20th Anniversary Tour with Wizard Rifle/Warish

Though singer-guitarist Lori S. started the stoner rock/doom metal band Acid King after moving from the Chicago suburbs to the Bay Area, her days in the Windy City’s 'burbs inspired the band’s 1999 album Busse Woods. She took the title from a park where she and her friends used to hang out and blast heavy metal tunes. Think Heavy Metal Parking Lot meets Dazed and Confused. Twenty years on, the album still holds up, and the band brings its tour celebrating the its 20th anniversary to the Grog Shop tonight. Songs such as the sludge-y, Sabbath-derived "Electric Machine" and the desert rock anthem "Drive Fast Take Changes" stand the test of time. The group will play the album in its entirety and then, assuming the crowd is hungry for more, will return to play a lengthy encore featuring tunes from its other albums. (Jeff Niesel)
