Guerro's for Tex Mex is pretty good. The Shady Grove had good Chicken fried steak... The Continental Club is classic... and there's a place upstairs and to the left from it where I saw basically the best band I've ever seen - just a weekly house gig for some local wizards. http://www.continentalclub.com/Austin.html
They've brought me on to play auxilary keys, guitar and vocals. They're about to release a new CD with lots of organ on it, and have always had some on their recordings. I've been rehearsing with them the last few days, and it's going pretty good - they're definately a loud rock n roll band. I like it. On a side note.... I love the RECENT VIDEOS on the side now. Handy. <----------------------------
He lays into it right off the top! And the line, "The poor old dirt farmer, how bad he must feel He fell off his tractor up under a wheel, And now his head, Is shaped like a tread, But he ain't quite dead" is awesome!
I LOVE this show... but I'm always so damn TENSE while watching it!! It's very uncomfortable - but enjoyable. The title sequence actually kinda grosses me out. And, thanks! Now after reading this post I absolutely cannot get past Angel's lisp. Midway through season 2 and reaaaly digging it. Makes me want to go back and rewatch 6 Feet Under... I think I'd appreciate David all the more.
He's great. We've got to share the stage with him a bunch of times. And his band is killer... Don Kerr on drums, Tim Bovaconti on guitar and Jason Mercer on bass - all wizards of their trade.
You'd think they might've been able to come up with some better music for this bit given some of the musicain members they have. That alone was enough to piss me off.
I read both... Levon's first. I liked it that way. Levon's painted an inside picture... his take on it.. which is a pretty valuable one! But then the Hoskins book gives an outside look... which is really how you're supposed to see it I guess. When I first heard the band, I had no idea any of the inner workings, just what I heard and loved. Choose inside or outside first... and enjoy.
