Twingiant @ The Trunk Space

Phoenix-based stoner-metal band Twingiant doesn't screw around when it comes to material. "Songs about being accidentally shot out into space on a giant garbage barge because y'all was sleeping in a pile of garbage when the tractor beam picked y'all up by mistake," reads the bio on the group's (hilarious)...

Phoenix-based stoner-metal band Twingiant doesn't screw around when it comes to material. "Songs about being accidentally shot out into space on a giant garbage barge because y'all was sleeping in a pile of garbage when the tractor beam picked y'all up by mistake," reads the bio on the group's (hilarious) Facebook page. We can't verify whether the lyrics of "Adrift in Space" focus on trash-heap abduction —kind of hard to tell through the growly vocals — but we can state without a doubt that the song rocks, grooving like Sleep and Electric Mustache on a steady diet of uppers. The band's webstore, the Space Hobo Boutique, doesn't have any recorded music available to purchase but does feature shot glasses and beer koozies. Clearly, a band with its priorities in line.
