Anal Cunt @ Emo’s & Overheards

I went to see Anal Cunt last night at Emo’s and wrote a review/overheards piece about it for Austinist.com today. Check it out, if I do say so myself.

The question seems to be whether or not Putnam and Co. are the Lenny Bruce of grindcore or some of the worst people on the planet. While most of us can enjoy (or at least see the humor in) songs like “Windchimes Are Gay” and “You Go to Art School,” as well as numerous songs devoted to calling out other bands (Dishwalla, 311, Artimus Pyle and Kenny G have all received verbal thrashings from AC), most find some of the misogyny and racism present in the band’s typically humorous song titles one toke over the line.
