This one kicks the door off its hinges and lets four completely different kinds of ’90s weirdness fight it out.We’ve got Poi Dog Pondering chasing something warm, restless, and big-hearted. Bulletboys trying to turn a freak show into an arena-sized event. David Lynch’s Lost Highway soundtrack lurking in the shadows with a trunk full of dread.
