It has been a while since we last had news of a performance from Big Eyed Beans from Venus, the Athens, GA based Captain Beefheart tribute band. This week there are two.

This Thursday, May 22nd, sees them play at Lenny's in Atlanta, "This we be the most awesome show yet heard by man or woman alike," as Lenny's website informs us.

On Friday, May 23rd, Big Eyed Beans from Venus turn up at their old floppy boot stomping ground in Athens, Caledonia Lounge. I'm told that the set list will be mainly compositions from Trout Mask Replica and earlier.

At Southern Shelter you can hear recordings of the band in action in 2006, including on-stage contributions from Rockette Morton and Denny Walley.
