Actually, I thought it was called Austin Music Hall, but when I did a search it said Texas Music Hall. Maybe they changed the name or something. Yeah, it was a big venue though.

Oh, I’m not in the Indigo Girls. They did a tribute record of Jesus Christ Superstar with a lot of Atlanta musicians and we did a song it and played in the two performances that were done.

muy cool - one of my favorite san jose bands...

LOL, Didn’t they come from Congress? I used to be a P1 but just listen to BaD Radio now. Too much Corby for me to listen to the Hardline.

It took awhile for me to get used to Corby, but I’m on board with him now. Although I do miss The Hammer, but he was slipping even before his “troubles.”

The Hacienda Brothers played a Gig last year in the same dive bar that my band (The Deadly Wombats) plays in. Good old Dean’s Tavern.

Small World...

Hacienda Bros were pretty good. Too bad that guy died.

Our Band Leader has a CD (I believe it was signed by all of them) he bought it the night they played there.

Pretty cool stuff - he has a woody on for the Baritone Guitar now.

Heh, funny you say that — I was briefly in a band in high school called “Skewed Avacados.” We changed our name once we realized we couldn’t get gigs as “Naked on 9th Street.”
