Local openers Tyvek made the unfortunate decision to take the stage
with a tentative guest guitarist and a few tuneless, droning "songs"
which gave a pretty good impression of what it would sound like to
hear the Cale line-up of the Velvet Underground being tortured by a
cheap synthesizer. Granted, the set improved once the auxiliary player
was jettisoned and their songs stopped trying to be "textured"; By the
time the singer (who had just taken an unintentional dive off the
stage) regaled us with the story of his first band smearing Twinkies
on the Halfass stage and getting banned for life, I found myself
wishing Tyvek had brought the Twinkies and left the lame tunes at
home.
