Seminal marijuana metal trio Weedeater, who helped usher in the dirtiest, scariest variety of stoner music, is blazing through Austin. Pumping Southern-bluesy riffs through dimed-out fuzz pedals while snarling dirty black metal-esque vocals, this is not your dad’s feel-good stoner rock. Sharing the stage: Telekinetic Yeti, a power duo with a growing buzz that fills out the stage with more full stacks than members, emitting an Elder meets High on Fire style of psychedelic sludge. Bringing up the rear is South Carolina’s Witchpit, with a sound reminiscent of the Sword’s early era mixed with Crowbar’s bellowing vocals.
