Close Knit: X, oops, the Knitters, honored their old friend and late Austin punk icon Randy "Biscuit" Turner last Saturday at their Parish date. Before singing a note, Exene Cervenka (below) held her longneck high and said, "Randall J. Turner, we love you. I know you're listening. This set's for you. To Biscuit!" After the toast, their lively rendition of "Give Me Flowers When I'm Living" touched off a lengthy set of raucous cowpunk that had the nearly sold-out crowd stomping their feet and square-dancing by the bar. Plans for Biscuit memorials continue taking shape: Gallery Lombardi will host an all-Biscuit art show this month, and Emo's has offered its services for a tribute show organizers hope will happen before the ACL Music Festival.
