Tin Can Phone is an up and coming rock/reggae group in Austin’s ever-expanding music scene. TCP’s live shows bring a house party feel, while spreading a positive message on an array of topics ranging from politics, to destiny, to run-ins with the law.

Matt, Josh, and Bert are childhood friends from the small beach town of South Haven, Michigan and have spent the last 15 years playing in bands all over the country. Soon after their arrival in Austin in 2007, they formed Tin Can Phone with Matt’s cousin Tyler. Since their formation, TCP’s sound has evolved to incorporate atmospheric guitars, organic rhythms, and synthetic beats while still holding true to their roots. The band draws influence from artists such as RX Bandits, K-OS, and Pepper.

Tin Can Phone continues to play extensively throughout Texas, having shared the stage with Passafire, Outlaw Nation, and Eleven Fingered Charlie. The band is grateful for the support they have received, and embrace every chance to make new friends and fans.

“Toby Keith”

Purveyors of genuine, no holds barred, country music, The Beaumonts, from Lubbock, Texas with an arsenal of raunchy, drug laced, honky tonk songs and an anything goes mentality keeps on-a preaching and their clergy keeps on-a drinking.

Their classics Lets Get Drunk, The Boots Stay On and Mayonnaise showcase not only their musical sensibilities, but also the couth upon which the natural honesty of The Beaumonts shines. With their music full of the stuff you don’t talk about in front of your Grandma, The Beaumonts are best absorbed live in concert and their show calendars have been marked by bills with other honky tonk hero’s such as Ray Wylie Hubbard and Scott Biram. And, to add to their celebrity credit, Unknown Hinson thinks that their music is “gooder than hell”.

Arclight Records also thinks that their music is gooder than hell and released the bands first studio album, Get Ready for The Beaumonts, nationwide in 2010 through Nail Distribution. The band knows how to get their job done and has no illusions about where they fit in amongst the present commercial music landscape. Frontman Troy Wayne Delco explains, “as long as the songs are simple, and we don’t have to practice too much, and it’s just fun and easy to do The Beaumonts shall champion on”.

Conscientious of the demand by their fans for quality country music, the band gigs consistently throughout the year where they make an effort to tour through San Antonio on just about every venture away from Lubbock they make. You can also find this good-hearted band giving something back each year by holding an annual Honky Tonk Christmas Food Drive in San Marcos – continually trying to top the previous years overall proceeds.

All in all, there is not another band out there quite like The Beaumonts, and everyone seems just fine with that.

Dirty Heads

admin — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:55:12 +0000

Dirty Heads at Wierdo’s 10/29/2010
Emerging onto the Southern California music scene with a sound as original as the band members themselves, the Dirty Heads’ blend of hip-hop and classic reggae rips through the sonic surf with bold beats, fun rhythms and the relaxed vibe of feel-good lyrics.

Dirty Heads
Dustin Bushnell – Vocals/Guitar
Jared Watson – Vocals
Jon Olazabal – Percussion
Matt Ochoa – Drums
David Foral – Bass
Rooted in the Orange County community of Huntington Beach, founding band members Jared Watson and guitarist / vocalist Dustin Bushnell met in 1996 while in high school, embarking on a friendship based on music, as well as their shared passion for surfing, skating and the endless party of the laid-back SoCal lifestyle.
Early on, they spent many late nights jamming in Bushnell’s soundproof garage with a four-track recorder, writing unique acoustic hip-hop songs that featured reggae inflections. Inspired by the rock and reggae sounds of Bob Marley, Sublime, 311 and The Beastie Boys, the band’s music evolved into their distinct Dirty Heads style.
To complete the Dirty Heads’ sound, the duo added percussionist Jon Olazabal and drummer
Matt Ochoa, both talented, experienced musicians. With a set of solid material, the Dirty Heads were further motivated to take their craft to the next level, and they began building a loyal fan base throughout the west coast, while performing acoustically at local bars and small music venues. As they started playing in neighboring Los Angeles, the band found it necessary to charter party buses so their fans could make the 30-mile trek to their shows.
Connecting with sought-after producers Steve Fox and Stan Frazier (Sugar Ray / Ashlee Simpson) the band worked long hours to polish their material and further develop their style. The Dirty Heads also recruited mixing engineer Mario Caldato Jr., best known for his work with the Beastie Boys, to add the finishing touches and create just the right blend.
The band’s highly-anticipated first full-length album is entitled, Any Port in the Storm (Released on EMG through Fontana, a division of Universal Music Group Distribution – September 2008). This debut features 14 tracks that are reminiscent of the upbeat, sun-soaked Southern California party energy. The first single is the optimistic, “Stand Tall.”
Any Port in the Storm also features one of the final recordings of the late music industry icon Billy Preston. Frequently referred to as “The Fifth Beatle,” Preston played on three tracks, including “Stand Tall,” “Chelsea,” and “Driftin.’ ” Other special guests on the album are drummer Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle, Sting, The Vandals), and veteran session percussionist Alex Acuna, whose A-list musician resume includes Peter Gabriel, Johnny Clegg, and Jackson Browne, to name only a few.
Recently, the band’s music has been attracting attention throughout the world of entertainment. Their songs have been featured in the movie and soundtrack for Surf’s Up (Sony 2007); and the television drama, Shark staring James Woods (CBS 2007. Actor Matthew McConaughey selected the band’s music to be in his upcoming film, Surfer Dude. In addition, the Dirty Heads can be heard in Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam video game (Activision 2007), and several other music compilations and surf/skate videos. On the marketing side, the Dirty Heads have also been included in campaigns for Etnies Jeans and Vestal Watches.
Dirty Heads vocalist Jared Watson sums up their fun, uncomplicated style, “We want to be positive and entertain,” he says. “We just want to make you feel good.”
And who can’t dig that?

Black Eyed Vermillion

BLACK EYED VERMILLION was born Gary Christian Vermillion in 1969 as the product of a one night stand between an unemployed circus freak and a jackal. Abandoned by his mother, he was adopted by a roaming tribe of Buddhist Monk street sweepers, eventually causing him to find inner-peace within the gutter.
At age 7, young Vermillion fell into an open sewer. After being trapped for three days he was finally rescued; unconscious and badly hurt. When he awoke he could only communicate in swear words for a year and his voice was severely damaged from the septic fumes. He also sustained a head injury, resulting in his first set of black eyes which would lead to the nick name he still bears to this day.
At 11 Vermillion set out to see the world but mostly saw it from behind bars. As he stumbled around the world from bus stations to bars to shelters to jails, he was always just lucky enough to cross paths with some of the most talented people in the underground music scene. Stevie Tombstone, One Armed Willie, Handsome Andy Gibson, Cornelious ‘the Pain’ Wickenburg, Joe Buck Yourself, Heathen Bill, Stix the Clown, Whiskey Dick and of course the legendary Shelton Williams the 1st were just a few of the people that would help him realize that he had absolutely NO musical talent! But they also taught him that it didn’t matter as long as there was a song in his heart.
These days Black Eyed Vermillion is being backed by The Vermillionaires; a solid line-up consisting of Fritz ‘Burger’ Nation and Johnny ‘Sunshine’ Johnson on Guitars, Kurtis D. ‘Millionaire’ Machler on Bass and Bircho Birch on Drums. Combining the elements of American roots music with the dark anger of punk and grindcore, they will be attempting to play as many gigs as possible, depending on everyone’s ever demanding Rehab schedule.

The Nutcracker Suite

Each year, the Austin-based rock band THE INVINCIBLE CZARS perform their wacky rock version of the music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, and each year it gets better! This new Texas holiday tradition began in December 2004 when the band introduced its version of the Suite to Austin at two shows: a children’s matinee and a later, louder show aimed at the bands existing rock fan base. Since then, the group has continued the tradition yearly, entertaining people of all ages with their unlikely holiday hit. In 2007, the band self-released a studio recording of the Suite which became the seventh highest selling holiday CD at Waterloo Records that year. Their creative and whimsical version of the Nutcracker Suite has opened the door for many exciting performance collaborations with such organizations as Boys & Girls Clubs of Austin, Austin Children’s Museum, Ballet Austin, the Houston Ballet, Wicked Cricket Dance Theatre and Graham Reynold’s Golden Arm Trio.

Igor and Red Elvises

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:17:10 +0000

Igor & Red Elvises from Jovita’s.
THE RED ELVISES are a party band, as you might expect from the title of their latest album, “Drinking With Jesus.” A group of mostly Russian emigres playing surfabilly and singing comical lyrics in a Russian accent, dropping “a,” “an” and “the,” for effect, the Red Elvises’ 13th album continues their tradition of reliably enjoyable novelty music with a few terrific tunes per platter. “Jesus” isn’t their best album, but considering the political climate, it might be their most diplomatically important.
Since their early albums, they’ve cultivated eclecticism. Here, there’s the klezmer-influenced “Lara’s Wedding,” the shantylike “Into the Sun,” the cabaret “Paris Waltz” and the interesting but unsatisfying N’awlins-inflected album closer, “Bourbon Street.” The rest of the songs are less distinguishable, though “Twist Like Uma Thurman” nearly lives up to its nonsensically playful name.
The band has undergone several personnel changes in its 13-year career, but the sound hasn’t changed much, as lead guitarist Igor Yuzov and bass balalaika player Oleg Bernov have hewed closely to the surf rock and American kitsch they’ve been winking at since their first record. The Red Elvises are at their best live. They’re silly and fun. What more do you need?

Killdares

admin — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:58:10 +0000

The Killdares from Jovita’s.
Originally formed in 1996, The Killdares have come to be known as one of the hottest, cutting edge bands in music today – Celtic or otherwise. World-class musicians from all over the U.S., they have come together in Texas to create and perform a brand new version of hard-driving, alternative Celtic rock music.

Blending traditional Celtic playing skills, power-pop accessibility, and straight up rock n’ roll hooks, The Killdares have created a fresh new sound that’s blended with enough commercial edge to be instantly recognizable, always engaging, and appealing to fans of all ages. Their live shows are filled with an infectious energy so powerful that it has been known to move people to tears. Even die-hard fans of purely traditional Celtic music have embraced the band’s powerful genre-bending sound.
Expanding the definition of “Celtic”, the band uses the unconventional pairing of screaming, fire-driven fiddle and bagpipes with the wail of electric guitar, bass and drums to create brilliant arrangements of traditional tunes and original compositions. This distinctive sound combined with the band’s incredible stage presence is nothing short of awesome.

“I love the idea of combining something as beautiful and melodic as a traditional fiddle or bagpipe with crunchy American rock n’ roll guitar, and having it work,” says founding member Tim Smith.

Joining the likes of Don Henley (The Eagles), Phil Collins (Genesis) and Fred LeBlanc (Cowboy Mouth), Dallas native Tim Smith handles lead vocals and drums with amazing nonchalance, locking in with Troy Gallaher’s energetic and “in-the-groove” bass playing and the beautifully expressive electric and acoustic guitar stylings of Brek Lancaster. Drums, bass, and guitar – all the ingredients of a quintessential rock-and-roll band.

But wait, there’s more!!!

Add to this dynamic rock-and-roll band, the 2005 Grand Master Fiddler Champion, Roberta Rast, and competition piper Matt Willis on the haunting Great Highland bagpipes, and you have all the right ingredients for a truly amazing Celtic Rock / World music / AAA / Rock-and-Roll extravaganza!

In 2002, six-time National Fiddle Champion Roberta Rast joined the band. With the title of Grand Master Champion, her fiddling journey has taken her from small-town Idaho to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, and now on stage with The Killdares.

Since first appearing on the music scene over 10 years ago, The Killdares have gone from local pub performers to national touring headliners, sharing stages with an incredibly diverse range of national and international artists.

In 1998, the band released their self-produced debut CD, “Broken With A Word”. Their 2001 follow-up, “A Place To Stand”, showed exceptional growth and maturity in their song writing, and contained a higher energy that caught the attention of producer Chris Bell, who has worked with Erykah Badu, and also with other prominent acts such as U2, Kirk Franklin, Fuel and most recently the Polyphonic Spree. “A Place To Stand” would be submitted in 2001 for Grammy ® nominations in 5 categories.

The Killdares released their third CD in the middle of the following year. Simply entitled “LIVE,” this album is a snapshot of their broad live set list, and in 2002 was also submitted for Grammy ® nominations. Over the course of five albums to date, the band has delivered top-notch original numbers, and introduced fans to a roster of influences that includes Big Country, Fairport Convention, and punk pioneers The Ramones. From their signature instrumental jams, to their radio-friendly pop-rock songs, The Killdares continue to solidify their reputation as a great live band.

With the release of their 2005 full-length recording, “Any Given Element,” The Killdares continued to expand their tour schedule all over the U.S. playing hundreds of shows a year, and building thousands of new fans throughout the nation.

Finally, in 2008 The Killdares reached new heights with their 5th independently released and produced album, “Secrets of the Day”. This album has been described as “dark, captivating and experimental,” and combines electronic, acoustic and other unique instrumentation to create an exciting new sound that has attracted new fans, but continues to captivate existing fans.

Presenting a perfect blend of rock, pop, and Celtic, The Killdares have established themselves as a unique team of musicians – stretching the boundaries of independent rock n’ roll, while bridging the gap between the traditional and the cutting edge.

Experience The Killdares – the best alternative Celtic Rock band in the world – just ask their fans!

The Finer Things from Trophy’s Bar and Grill
An undeniable dose of 20′s swing with a hint of 90′s swing ressurgence, but the record holds elements of Tenacious D, Django Reinhart, Bette Midler, Queens of the Stonage, Roy Smeck, John Hartford, David Cross, Tom Waits, Poe, M, Cheap Suit Serenaders, Zoe Lewis, Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boing, and the infamous Fats Waller. Austin Texas is the glue in their music, inadvertantly sculpting their tastes. That environment, and mp3 players set to random, have added to a more diverse listening community worldwide to which the Finer Things hopes to appease.

Grant Peeples at Jovita’s in South Austin.
Message from Grant…
Song is always in my head, impetuous and immutable. And I write every single day. Sometimes people say to me things like, “Man, why don’t you write something a little Happier, maybe?” But Im compelled to write down what scrolls across my cerebral screen. That’s the only honest way I know to do it. I’ve tried chasing stuff down, inventing songs, making-up songs, and when I do, when I finally think I’ve got it, it rings all wore-out to me—the same damn song other people have been writing over and over and over. And that don’t do nothing for me. I’d just as soon work at WalMart.

“Rock & roll animals (Recommended show)”
-The Austin Chronicle

“Up-and-comers White Rhino throw down rough and tumble r’n'r”
-The A-List on Austin360

“Strangest vocalist in Austin (Lemmy meets Ian Astbury?). Either a monster waiting to happen or a genuine Austin curiosity, take your pick.”
-Spiderhouse Cafe SXSW

“They look and sound like they came from that side of your Dad’s record collection that he only drags out when your Mom hassles him or his boss is giving him shit.”
- Craig Hlavaty HOUSTON PRESS

“White Rhino can veer off into spacier, proggier territory a la Hawkwind, thrash it out like Master of Puppets-era Metallica or turn on the bluesy afterburners like some anabolic descendent of ZZ Top. A power trio in the truest sense of the term.”
- Chris Gray HOUSTON PRESS

“Austin’s White Rhino, one of the bands to look out for this year. I think you guys have a lot of steam built up and I think you’re gonna run over a lot of people, man.”
- Zakk United 94.5 The Buzz Houston

“Get your rock on with White Rhino, one of the newest, baddest, loudest bands in town.”
- The Mohawk Austin TX

“Their lyric’s topics and raw sound stands out among the deep pool of Red River bands.”
- The Accent

“A much younger Motorhead… with an abundance of musical talent and dexterity. There’s a craving for uniqueness among the newer, lesser-known acts these days, and White Rhino’s got it in Spades.”
