The Peculiar Pretzelmen reveal insight into their lives as cryptomusicologists, their fascination with the fearsome grackle, and why their music video ended up not being “a couple of strippers in a Chuck E Cheese grinding in the ball pit” (but inexplicably turned out to be something much better) – Larryville Chronicles interviews the band in advance of their Kansas City show, which is also an album release for Hilary Watts Riot, whom the Prezelmen describe as “our fine friends from MONEY WOLF, a fledgling Kansas City record label. They’ve invited us out a few times and each party has been a madhouse…[Hilary Watts Riot] are a freaky fun sonic meltdown party band with one hand in the Devo pie and two feet in the Sonic Youth bath, and then some fingers in Blondie soup, with the balls right in Isaac Hayes milkshake.” Molly Picture Club opens.
