Absolute perfection

Speaking of breakups and farewells, Strap--the rock-and-roll combo fronted by The Artist Formerly Known as Matt "The Cat" Hillyer--plays its final show at Trees on the very same night. Hillyer, who ditched rockabilly for metal and a bodyload of tattoos when he dumped Lone Star Trio some time back, will be making full-time work of his country band 1100 Springs, which also features the likes of Bruce Alford (ex-Vibrolux) and Richie Vasquez (a former--and current?--Cartright). It's all so incestuous.
