    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...

  2. 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.

    May be an image of 5 people and text that says 'ብየ LONG CENTER KADI the Long Center presents DROP-IN powered by KUTX poweredbyKUTX98.9 98.9 BROWNOUT MAy 22 Long Center DR තුමා the サN'

    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

  6. 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.

    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.

    the price of single day ticket aside they are doin' the old guys a solid with Sabrina Carpenter being the same day as the Strokes.

    Tickets this year are crazy which is why we do early bird tickets.  

  9. I used those in Amsterdam and saw them in Ghent, too.  In Ghent they were funny because they were more like a line of urinals all side by side with little dividers but the front partition stopped at about shoulder high so you could look out and at people while peeing.  Pretty funny.

    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.

    There is a shed at the east end of the park, next to the main stage, that has about 40 urinals in it.  Guys catch a break at ACL.  Women, it's port-a-potties.

    Yeah, all things considered the public bathrooms at ACL are surprisingly not bad at all

    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".

  13. 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.
