Yuck, Wednesday 16 March, Club De Ville, Austin, TX (SXSW)

Yuck were certainly reminiscent of Pavement and early Dinosaur Jr, as everyone says, but they weren't slavish copyists. They were also tight enough as a band to carry themselves. Having hear the record, it was quite surprising to see who was singing different parts. Lots that seemed on the album to be a female voice were sung by the boys in the band. They created an impressive sound from the four of them and they had a great energy. They played the non-album track Milkshake, whuch was pretty good and certainly didn't sound like a leftover cast-off.
