There will also be food from Michis and drinks from Peach State Light. Chronic Weekend will culminate Sunday evening at Hi-Lo Lounge with performances beginning at 9 p.m. from Tokyo-based avant-punk trio Loolowningen and The Far East Idiots, Captain Beefheart cover band Meatloaf and experimental acid punk band Rubber Udder.
