Ears Wide Open: Small Wigs

Small Wigs by Jeff Fribourg

This I thought while listening to the new singles from Small Wigs: There’s just not enough cowpunk being made, especially by people who should be too young to know what cowpunk is. Small Wigs is the work of singer-guitarist Elvis Kuehn (of FIDLAR) and singer-bassist Mikki Itzigsohn (of Isaac Rother & the Phantoms), along with Matt Zuk and Kuehn’s drumming brother Max. The songs, available on a 7-inch via Mock Records, crackle with a little twang and strut, and maybe remind me to dust off some of those old Meat Puppets records every so often.
