Oh, Nipplepotamus! Why would you play a show at the Alibi when I am out of town?

Fans of the band are already ramping up for the trio’s Alien Scene album release show. For those inexperienced with the band’s hypnotic twist on surfy-psychedelic-indie-rock — go get yourself some. (If Alien Scene were subject to old-school record promotion, the label on the cover would read “RIYL: BRMC.”)

I’m super bummed to miss this free, 21-and-over gig and would have happily stayed up late waiting for the music to start around 11 p.m. or so. Joining the Nips is Fort Dick, which features members of 33 1/3 and Indianola.
