Austin's Big Bill forges their own darkly comedic brand of philosophical art-rock. As Kevin Curtin of The Austin Chronicle notes, "If Big Bill were from Bristol, Brighton, or London, NME would've long ago run articles effusively praising their peculiar strain of punk and proclaiming them the next-big-thing." Eric Braden, the band's primary songwriter, contributes vocals once described as sped-up Buddy Holly, coupled with a singularly weird point of view. The current lineup features Braden on vocals, Alan Lauer on bass, Alex Riegelman on guitar, and former White Denim drummer Jeff Olson on drums. The result of this combination is a legendary live show, fueled by what has been described as “climbing-up-the-rafters energy.”
