Schneider, Bob and The Scabs

The Scabs are not only one of the tightest, funkiest R&B revues ever to heat up the stage at Antone’s, Austin’s fabled home of the blues, they’re also undoubtedly the raunchiest. Frontman Bob Schneider — a man who really needs no introduction in the Live Music Capital of the World — allows no opportunity for sexual innuendo, double-entendre or outright ribaldry to go unfulfilled. The result is a riotous dance-party vibe that’ll have you laughing out loud and rolling your eyes while shaking your booty. Keep the kids away from this band, or make sure their ears are well-plugged! But don’t miss ’em; they will rock you. Schneider just took home the latest of 30 Austin Music Awards in March: Best Male Vocals; Band of the Year, for his more refined project, Lonelyland; and Best Bluegrass, for his Texas Bluegrass Massacre. Clearly, the dude’s got a lot of musical irons in the fire, and all of them are intriguing on different levels. But when it comes to Bob’s wild side, the Scabs are unbeatable.
