San Antonio's Powdered Wig Machine is far from a conventional rock act.
Over the past year, the trio has emerged as one of the city's foremost purveyors of performance-art, surreal multimedia and psychedelic punk — a happy collision of skewed art-world antics and garage rock energy.
Makes sense then that group's origins are also far from conventional. It was originally conceived as a web video series of the same name, which primarily focused on sketch comedy and interviews. The series' intent was to blend offbeat comedy with the sensibilities of independent film — and with David Lynch's surreal masterpiece Mulholland Drive as a major touchpoint.
