Sick’s Pack from Trophy’s Bar and Grill
Lead man Sick told us, “Film everything, I don’t ever do anything on stage I don’t like.” Watch any of these videos to find out why.
Austin based band with more than a half dozen multi-instrumentalists, SICK’S PACK combines sounds akin to Danny Elfman’s haunting melodies applied to speedy bluegrass. Or sometimes, gypsy-jazz swing applied to Louis Armstrong/Frank Sinatra/Tom Waits vocal styles, infused with black metal rhythm guitar. Led by Sick, a local songwriter and fiddler, this absurd octet is as diverse as Ween, as catchy as Cake, and as raunchy as Tenacious D. To describe their sound, you must list some of the instruments: fiddle, banjo, cello, mandolin, drums, kazoo, tuba, accordian, trumpet, clarinet, harmonica, amd the occasional stand up bass.
