A few friends have recently recommended Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol, so I started poking around.
“It’s like Andrew W.K., but less party.”

“It’s metal you can dance to,” explains Lydon. “It’s pop metal. Doom-wop.”
They’ll play Waterloo Records when the new record Big Dumb Riffs hits in two days.
“Heel” features Austin, so it joined our list.
Fun record.
Let’s see ’em live.
The Chronicle finished strong:
As far as their musical hometown? Rickshaw Billie and the boys have nothing but love for the fans, double cheeseburgers from Dan’s, and the music scene that helped birth them.
“Who’s helping you and how are you helping out other people? And how are you helping grow this whole thing that you’re a part of?” Lydon ponders. “Austin has that. A lot of people here want to help each other out.”
St Germain agrees: “That’s something I still love about this city. It’s not about awards or recognition, but about building that family, because that’s going to last longer. And it’s unreal how kind people have been to us over these past few years.”

There ya go, Austin.
Keep helping and building. Stay kind. Last.
