A Beyond OKlahoma Psychedelic, Post Punk Rock Experience: The Electric Primadonnas, The Escatones, Devour The World, and Shardz @ Skinny's Ballroom, Fri. 3/2, 9pm

Updated Mon. 2/20/12, 10:50 pm

The Electric Primadonnas have evolved into a psychedelic, "freakbeat" garage rock band with a two town residency: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where they began, and Los Angeles, CA, where one of their co-founding members now resides. But don't think a minor issue like a few thousand miles makes a difference with the musical connection the band continues to make with recordings and live performances. They are joining psychedelic/surf garage rock faves The Escatones on a musical excursion in Texas, which includes performances in Austin, Texas. They'll be playing early at Trailer Space Records, 7pm, then joining Austin-based folk/psych Rycootermelontramp, post punk ponderers Devour The World, and prodigious cellist & soundscape artist Shardz (Joey Reyes of Whale Watch) at Skinny's Ballroom, 9pm.
