Self-described one-man-band-guitar-party-dance-mess Bob Log III is currently on tour bringing that wild thing he does to towns all over North America. See him live and you’re a convert. (Check out video below.) NYC will have two chances to experience him: August 4 at the McKittrick Hotel and August 5 at The Wick with D’NT. Advance tickets are available for the Wick show.

Opening most of Bob’s East Coast dates — including both NYC shows — are Tucson, AZ’s #1 party band, The Pork Torta. Says Trapped by Desert:

The Pork Torta make you feel like you walked onto the set of a David Lynch film set in a dark bar in the middle of the desert with some wild, emotionally dissident yet highly rhythmic band pounding away as people grind on each other while strobe lights almost make you blackout and the rhythm makes you go crazy.

The Pork Torta’s new album is titled Live in Estonia. While it’s questionable whether this was actually recorded in Estonia — or live at all — it’s pretty entertaining and funny, a funky mess a la The Minutemen. Stream the whole thing below.

All tour dates — including ones in Philly, CT and lots more — are listed, along with videos and streams, below…
