There's a 10 piece all-girl Japanese ska band called Pistol Valve in Austin this weekend, but I'm not sure that there's anyhthing as strangely enchanting as Bobby Lounge, the Mississippi piano man who closed Mojo Nixon's Jalapeno Pancake Breakfast on Saturday.
Wheeled onstage in an Iron Lung, and introduced by a white suited Southern gentleman modeled after Big Daddy in Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the 57 year old Lounge rose up and took to his piano stool, where he proceeded to reel off a series of biting, absurdists narrative that would make Randy Newman envious. As he displayed a powerhouse arsenal of barrelhouse, boogie woogie and gospel piano moves, and ripped off ribald numbers such as "10 Foot Woman," he was joined onstage by a bifocaled woman who spent his entire set ignoring him and reading a book. Lounge is a regional treasure and a singular lyricist who rarely performs outside Mississppi or Louisiana, so here's hoping playing SXSW gives him a measure of the recognition he deserves. "Keep Bobby Lounge in your prayers," Big Daddy requested of the faithful at the Continental. Amen. www.bobblylounge.com
