A serious band with a silly name, RickshawBillie has an all-in mentality.
, I expected a fun, playful, carefree aesthetic – possibly including some deep, imaginative lore: a Rickshaw Billie's extended universe with colorful characters, distant planets, and buxom babes being saved by hunky hamburger men.As it turns out, RBBP is a serious band with a silly name.
This attitude was, and still is, reflected in the Patrol's indefatigable work ethic. Their seemingly constant in-town gigging and steady stream of releases appear to be a game plan that works for them.Simple enough. However, that"good product" he speaks of isn't so simple to pin down, labelistically. You see, in a genre that abounds in subclassifications, one is challenged to sum up these cheeseburger guys and their sound with just a word or two.
But the story of Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol begins in the Before Times, pre-pandemmy, in a place many Austinites have inhabited: a sprawling, colorful apartment complex at the corner of East Riverside and Pleasant Valley known affectionately as"the Met." For the uninitiated, the Metropolis Apartments are like a hard-partying fraternity for arty weirdos in suspended adolescence and innumerable stray cats.
What did stick was the Rickshaw name and musical partnership. That same year they released the cheekily titled debut EP,"We used to have a second guitarist. He couldn't make a show that we couldn't cancel, and we couldn't find another eight-string guitar player, so we just played with the three of us … and afterwards, we were just like, 'This works,'" St. Germain says with an approving gesture.
"Since he joined, the band is like it should have been since day one," comments Lydon of the personnel change."That's when everything clicked into gear." "A lot of bands didn't want to put records out at the time because they couldn't play and tour," remembers St. Germain."We said, 'Fuck that shit, we're writing music. Our people wanna hear it.'"
