Are they part of the Brown Hornet collective? I saw them provide the soundtrack to an old silent film (Nosferatu?) at the Paramount, it was very cool. I think Graham Reynolds played with them.
No, they are part of the Grupo Fantasma "tree" like Money Chicha. Quesada was in the band but I'm not sure he plays with them anymore.
Great music... have released some excellent albums covering Black Sabbath and Public Enemy. AND when Ozzy likes you...

No, not really new but a great band and these free shows by auditorium shores are great! Best view in town for good live music. You can get the free tickets (have to get them in advance) through the Long Center.
Oh, and I'm pissed I missed this Je'Texas show. They're so good.

Drop down to Destin or Pensacola beach?
Its a quick overnight stay to split the trip... I'm not paying Destin summer prices for one night when I'm not really going to enjoy the beach for more than maybe an hour or two (if that). Well, I don't know... maybe not Destin. Maybe Pensacola? I don't know. Really is just a stop for the night.

Learned to drive in Houston. Lived in Austin for decades.
Houston drivers: homicidal, engraged, and aggressive.
Austin drivers: clueless idiots.
I prefer Houston drivers by a wide margin, because "homicidal and aggressive" is predictable. They are all trying to kill me, and I know and respect that. Austin drivers, on the other hand, will come to nearly a full stop on the freeway because they aren't sure if that's their exit or not, will turn from any lane (they prefer the middle lane, I think, because it gives them "options") with zero warning, shit like that.
Mean is better than stupid.
Yeah, I kind of disagree. Learned to drive in Houston, live in Austin. Coming up on a combined 9 years here in Austin.
I'll take Austin. The idiocy is not as far-reaching here - smaller city, traffic is not as bad and the red light running in Houston is insanely bad. Like horribad and you are crazy if you jump that green. T-bone city.
Now... hey... can we talk SATX?

Do you go to a country bar and pump three dollars into the juke box and start playing Celine Dion for 10 songs straight? No one moved to Austin for their public transportation.
C'mon now... this dude is a hero

So you're driving from Palm Beach County back to Austin and you have to make an overnight stop around midway. I'm not stopping in NOLA because we will do that on the way. Below are my options - tell me where to stop and why or why not...
1. Mobile / Daphne, Alabama
2. Biloxi / Gulf Shores
3. ???
4. Profit
Note: Will have teenagers/family with me. I don't gamble.

Based on a thread elsewhere, I'm starting to really appreciate angry bands fronted by women...

There is a great cafe' in Ardmore called "Il Riposo" that has the best suppli and olive ascolane this side of the Atlantic. Ask the owner for his recommendations on wines from Le Marche. You'll be amazed by their selection. They have an amazing sparkling pecorino. Also, excellent espresso.
Just kidding. Maybe Starbucks on 35?

Question that is apropros of little, but I can't find a "punk" thread: somebody tell me about The Viagra Boys.
I found them while listening to "Amyl and the Sniffers Radio" (you know how Spotify has "radio stations" if you like a particular band. Anyway, I thought they were pretty good.
@jimmyjazz Check out Lambrini Girls... songs like "Love" or "Big Dick Energy". The whole Who Let The Dogs out album is something.

I'd like to point out that the past two mornings were incredibly nice in Austin and completely unfair.

Man it was a lovely weekend all the way around. Saw Ian Moore at Antone's on Friday, crawfish boil at my house on Saturday, and just hanging by the pool in the backyard all afternoon on Sunday. Tremendous weather and even though it's supposed to get Africa-hot this week, I can't complain at all about how mild and pleasant this spring has been so far.
No doubt. Had mother's day lunch out on the back patio yesterday... perfect weather to relax and enjoy the outdoors. This morning was 53. Glorious. That all ends but still, it was a great start to the month.

I think I do an acceptable job staying on top of new music for an old. I don't have to like everything.
Definitely not referring to you. I know you're relatively on top of things. Having a musical family clearly helps, too.
I'm talking about the people that see the new lineup and complain because "uhhh I recognize three bands".

Caught The Point again on Saturday night at the Sahara Lounge. Man, their talent and the energy is so infectious. They brought the house down, again. All three of them are great but Nico Leophonte on drums always blows my mind. So good!
(Not from that particular show...)

The old-man energy on this thread is really entertaining.
Right?
I love the lineup and have already found some new bands but these guys who complain non-stop...
Picture yourself at 21 or 24 or 25
Some 50-year old whines about the lineup at ACL
Yeah, dude... that's you! Cut it out.

New Austin Music

So on the Drop-in, its a great way to see free live music and to melt in the summer evening heat.

Gets hot as balls but definitely recommend it. I think this was before Jane Leo in 2023...
