Goodnight, Texas is an American folk rock band consisting of Avi Vinocur (lead vocals, mandolin, guitar, banjo), Patrick Dyer Wolf (lead vocals, banjo, guitar), Adam Nash (pedal steel, guitar, fiddle), Scott Griffin Padden (drums), and Chris Sugiura (bass). The Wedding Band show at The Fillmore was part of Metallica’s “San Francisco Takeover” this past weekend celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary. In addition to co-helming Goodnight Texas, Avi Vinocur has worked behind the scenes with Metallica for several years and occasionally plays with them in concert. Regarding "Hypothermic," Avi Vinocur said this about the song's composition: "I had written a story in my notebook of a character braving the frigid tundra of Canada by car, north toward the distant U.S. state of Alaska - through hallucinations, paranoia, and exhaustion - to escape something unknown. It matched the sinister sound of this strange heel-thumper I had been working with on guitar - and together they were a perfect pair. 'Hypothermic' is the result - our attempt to tell stories of America's furthest corner, under a darker headlight, and attempting to sonically capture the heaviness of not only America's past, but its present." ================ Goodnight, Texas live tour dates (2022): 1/11 - Morro Bay, CA @ The Siren (w/ Fruition) 1/12 - Sacramento, CA @ Harlow's Restaurant & Nightclub (w/ Fruition) 1/13 - Crystal Bay, NV @ Crystal Bay Casino (w/ Fruition) 1/14 - San Francisco, CA @ The Independent (w/ Fruition) 1/15 - Los Angeles, CA @ Lodge Room Highland Park (w/ Fruition) 1/16 - San Diego, CA @ Casbah (w/ Fruition) ================ Hypothermic lyrics: Driving In a cold sweat There is no one On an icy highway Northbound To Alaska Hypothermic Where the sun can't find me Pistol In the glove box With a shot left Incase they come for Answers To the questions Only I know What it is they're after Gas up With a credit card And an alias That I learned this morning Dead flies ‘round the heat lamp No receipt please Hide face from the camera Peel out On a snowbank But I land it And I'm back on the highway Northbound To Alaska Hypothermic Where the sun can't find me I can see them I can hear them I can feel them Speeding up behind in an Unmarked Hallucination In a wilderness Where the law can't hear me Shouting Begging mercy On the concrete While they kick my jaw in Driving In a cold sweat There is no one On this icy highway Written by Avi Vinocur / Patrick Dyer Wolf =============== Goodnight, Texas official bio (Bandcamp): Goodnight, Texas is the garage roots Appalachian collaboration of San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf. The band conjures a feeling of a different heavy era in the United States - part 1930s, and part 1860s. The trick: heaviness comes from organic acoustic instruments. In this case, a banjo, acoustic guitar and a 1918 mandolin. ================= Goodnight, Texas official bio (Spotify): Conventional wisdom says the two frontmen of a band shouldn’t live on opposite sides of the United States, but that's never seemed to deter Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf. Goodnight, Texas is a band whose strength lies in unexpected sweet spots. Drawing their name from Pat and Avi’s onetime geographic midpoint (the real town of Goodnight in the State of Texas, a tiny hamlet east of Amarillo), the four-piece also exists at the center of its songwriters’ contrasting styles — via a 1913 Gibson A mandolin and a 2015 Danelectro, at the crossroads of folk and blues and rock ‘n’ roll, in a place where dry wit and dark truths meet hope and utmost sincerity. Built on a powerful foundation from drummer Scott Griffin Padden, bassist Chris Sugiura, and pedal steel multi-instrumentalist Adam Nash, the band's crafty albums blossom into a dynamic, rollicking live show on the road with artists such as Whiskey Shivers, Bhi Bhiman, Wild Child, Larkin Poe, Trampled By Turtles, Shakey Graves, and The Family Crest. A Long Life Of Living (2012) drew inspiration from Appalachia and the Civil War and Uncle John Farquhar (2014) was an exploration of turn-of-the-century family lore. 2018's Conductor, more electrically inclined than its predecessors, wanders through the American Southwest in the early decades of the 20th century. It's a record about turning points — personal, political, musical, global — and their possibilities. ================= Typo catcher: Good Night Texas, Goodbye Texas, Avi Vincour, Hyperthermic, Hypothermia
