Tim and Eric make the Midland weird tonight; Tim talks Pusswhip and chopping meat

Absurdist comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim hit the Midland tonight as part of their Tim & Eric Awesome Tour, Great Job, Chrimbus Spectacular 2010. The show includes a performance by their ’70s Southern-rock parody band, Pusswhip Banggang. The Pitch recently spoke to an impressively deadpan Heidecker about band dynamics.

The Pitch: So you’ll be performing as Pusswhip Banggang, but you’re going to be playing songs from the entire Tim and Eric repertoire?

Tim Heidecker: Yes, Pusswhip songs and then some other songs from the TV show.

Will you play the Pusswhip song ­”Jambalaya”?

Yes, that’s actually one of Pusswhip’s favorite songs. We love singing about bein’ down South, cookin’ up some spicy food, gettin’ that meat all chopped up.
