now i'm curious what his cancer thing was actually about? either way - I gave tropicana about a spin and a half and left it, not the vibe of his that I really love. But the new album sounds like it might be more up that alley, looking forward to it.

The Band of Heathens formed 20 years ago in '05, but it was this weekend in '08 that we "discovered" them.

This was the weekend that they rescheduled the Arkansas game in Austin because of Hurricane Ike, and may have been the first time a home game was played during the then 1-weekend ACL Festival.  Limited hotel capacity used to be a thing in Austin.

They played a day show at the Festival...we went to the game, regrouped, and looked through the Chronicle for live music.  Saw "The Band of Heathens" listed as an ACL Aftershow at the Saxon Pub, and decided that sounded cool.

Holy Mother of God that show was the best small venue show I've ever been to.  The dudes were juiced up from the ACL show and brought the house down at Saxon.  Shit I was 42 years old then and it changed (or at least fine tuned) the way I listen to music.  

The band has changed, grown, evolved over the years since then....but at their core, they are still the same band.  They regularly play all over Texas in the Fall, and I encourage y'all to catch them if you can.

I’ve seen them twice. Once at kessler and once at longhorn saloon. The kessler is such an intimate venue that it appears some bands tone it down there. The longhorn saloon show earlier this year was really good.

They’re playing the saloon again in nov with jamestown revival. I’m in for that show.
