Merry Christmas!
Here is a great Christmas Lights video of 37th Street in Hyde Park. There might have been a miracle over on 34th, but in Texas you’ll find all the action on 37th. This residential street brings the “everything’s bigger in Texas” philosophy to holiday decorating.

Brink of Disaster

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 11:19:47 +0000

Brink of Disaster at Applebee’s in South Austin brought to you by Texas Metal Collective.
This is the opening set of the Fuck Cancer Tour.
“Listo Pisto”

Brink of Disaster, otherwise known as “Brink” around the Austin music scene, began as a 3-piece instruMETAL act in 2006. Original members Ian Abete, Joey Vera and Tony “Frog” Deaver, first crossed paths in Austin, Texas searching for a mix of musical style, personality and vision that all bands seek in their members but seldom find. Working together they began the writing process and playing shows in Austin’s notorious Red River District with the hopes that someone would hear their music and want to put a story behind it. While playing a show in late 2007 the band was approached by Aaron “Worm” Ugalde, who not only liked the music but believed that he would fit in with his personality and vision. After a few weeks of rehearsing together in their good friend’s living room, Brink began to vibe together musically and in January of 2008 Worm became an official member of Brink of Disaster. Since 2008 Brink of Disaster has been fortunate enough to be able to bring the sonic destruction and energy in their live show to cities around Texas and New Orleans. Their approach to metal is the fusion of the musical style and influences of each band member. In the past four years Brink of Disaster has been anything but silent in this DIY music world and continues to gain momentum with every note played at every show. With a fan base that grows by word of mouth, Brink of Disaster shows that it can and will continue to create the grassroots following that is ever so important to them. As 2010 rolls along, Brink of Disaster will continue to play live shows and work diligently to become a force to be reckoned with night in and night out.

Brought to you by Dave.TV

“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.”

The Jigglewatts Burlesque is Austin’s premier burlesque troupe winning national acclaim as a group and individually. The Jigglewatts bring Austin their favorite national performers. All of their dance numbers are intensely character-driven, giving a revealing glimpse into the personas they have created. More than just adopting cutesy stage names, each dancer has a captivating presence with which she infuses all actions.
Perhaps the strongest element of a Jigglewatts performance, however, is the attention to detail. From the music selection and editing to the precisely timed lift of an eyebrow, the balance of choreography to improvisation, the lighting design (where available), and let’s not forget the dazzling, custom-made costumes… each plays a vital role in the creation of The Jigglewatts world.

Crew54 is a Austin Texas-based rap group that has been on the scene since 2006. The two-man rap group is made up of MOS and G-Christ, who blend their sounds and lyrics together seamlessly.

The Crew54 Reality Show seems like an original idea. What was the motivation behind it?

MOS: We wanted to be able to put ourselves out there and for people to get to know us, but in our videos we can’t pretend like we’re something we’re not. A lot of other rappers want to pretend they’re these badasses or whatever, but we record everything, so you know who we are if you watch it.

G-Christ: We do show our shows, but we don’t just highlight us. We put other artists on the reality show, too. Some others just put themselves out there, but we try and help other artists in the area get out there too.

I have to give Bill Hicks full credit for waking me up to how the world really works, and this, his last interview includes the footage which proves the Branch Davidians were murdered at Waco, a Bradley tank with a flame thrower attached. This interview was shown on Austin Public Access and has been on Google before, only to be pulled for some spurious reason. If Bill’s friend Kevin Booth is still selling this video then please support his good work (along with Alex Jones) exposing the New World Order, but the information Bill puts across in this interview is too important for humanity to be perceived as having “intellectual copyright”. Bill hardly swears in this interview so there’s no reason for it to be removed for obscenity reasons, if it gets pulled again then it’s the evilarchy, not his friends, followers or disciples requesting it’s removal. Please watch, learn and WAKE UP – There IS a war on for our minds… R.I.P. Bill, you’re my messiah, Vernon was a false prophet!

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.

TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls Track Setup

admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:21:49 +0000

TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls Track Setup

Roller Derby, Texas-style
Founded in 2001 in Austin,Texas by She-EOs Anya Jack, April Herman, Heather Burdick and Nancy Lynn, TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls was started with a vision of outrageous production value and fabulous women on skates. The Lonestar Rollergirls are local favorite daughters as well as a hearty entertainment staple, perfectly blending the “Keep Austin Weird” attitude with a free-wheeling pursuit of fun and competition, with rocking local music thrown in for good measure.

High Impact
Primarily composed of women between the ages of 21 and 40+, the Lonestar Rollergirls embody a “do-it-yourself” attitude, pooling their resources and varied skill sets to keep their league up and rolling. With 10+ committees and an elected governing body, these women have fought to build their organization from the ground up, never taking an official loan and keeping the majority of league responsibilities in-house. The same work ethic continues to pervade the league today, as the rollergirls look to the future and plot the course for where the next five years will take them. Their plans are big and their dreams even bigger, and there is no doubt that these women will continue to impact Austin, and beyond, in a serious way.

Teams
We currently have five teams: The Hellcats (50′s-style vixens who love their hotrods and switchblades), The Putas Del Fuego (Cholas with a taste for blood and tequila), The Holy Rollers (the baddest bullies in the Sacred Heart schoolyard), The Rhinestone Cowgirls (Texas fillies that offer up the best in country-fried violence), and the Cherry Bombs (ruthless Rock ‘n’ Roll misfits run amuck).

The History
The Lonestar Rollergirls’ first public bout was seen by approximately 400 spectators. By season’s end, crowd attendance had reached 1,300, with hundreds having to be turned away at the door. Now, as the 80-member skater-owned and operated league hits its fifth anniversary, the sport of roller derby has grown in incredible leaps and bounds, as has the amount of involvement that each skater puts into this business.

In 2003, TXRD purchased an original roller derby banked track, making them the first all-girl league to ever skate on a banked track. TXRD has sparked a roller derby revival and can be directly connected to new leagues springing up in cities around the world, from the Cayman Islands, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

The Word is Out
Local and national media have taken notice of the women of TXRD, recognizing that this group of women truly is unique. Media Coverage includes: The Chicago Tribune, The Austin American Statesman, The Austin Chronicle, Austin Monthly, Austin Fit Magazine, Bust Magazine, Drill Magazine, Loaded, Playboy, Rank and Review, SPIN, Texas Highways Magazine, IN Magazine, Austin Music Network (AMN), National Public Radio (NPR), KLBJ Radio, 101X Radio, Mega 93.3 Radio, KAOS 95.9 Radio, KVRX Radio, KOOP Radio, Comedy Central’s Insomniac with Dave Attell.

TXRD is also featured in three music videos, as well as a documentary being filmed by Bob Ray and Werner Campbell of Crashcam Films. The documentary, titled “Hell On Wheels,” tells the story of a group of women who create a high-octane rock and roll-fueled, all-girl roller derby league from the ground up. The film follows the women through the planning stages, fundraising rock shows, grueling practices and, ultimately, up to their first bone-breaking, smashingly successful first season and beyond.

In 2006, the Lonestar Rollergirls were featured in a 13-episode television series on A&E titled “Rollergirls.” This opportunity helped spread the new derby to households across the nation and the world, and renewed the excitement for banked track roller derby that many viewers recalled from decades ago. That same year, the Lonestar Rollergirls had the chance to skate in larger venues across Austin, including the Austin Convention Center in Downtown Austin.

The LonestarRollergirls also have participated in the first two interstate banked tracked derby bouts for the new all-girl leagues. In 2005, the league hosted the Renegade Rollergirls from Arizona, and then in 2006, the LA Derby Dolls from California. We look forward to many more cross-country matchups in the near future!

The Best Fans in the World
The fans that attend our bouts range from white-collar professionals and soccer moms with kids in tow, to bikers and mohawked rockers. The largest majority of or fan base is from 21-35 years of age, with an emphasis on things alternative when it comes to music and entertainment. Much of our audience is comprised of those who spend a large amount of time in Austin’s entertainment districts. But again, because of roller derby’s past glory, it appeals to many who grew up watching it on TV.

TXRD Loves Its Community
The women of TXRD volunteer their time and make special appearances at many benefits and events to raise money for local charities. Recent events have benefited New Horizons, an Austin-area shelter for mentally and physically abused children, The Austin Human Society and The David Powell Health Clinic for uninsured and underinsured HIV+/AIDS patients.

Derby Slang

Thunderdome: Where people go for roller derby mayhem and madness.

Getting railed: when a skater rams another skater up onto the outer track rail

Give a whip: An assist move in which a skater extends her arm and whips her jammer around the track, propelling her with momentum and quite possibly taking out unsuspecting blockers in her path.

T-stop: dragging the back skate perpendicular to the front skate.

Track Rash or Masonite Burn: Stinging, red streak across buttocks and/or legs resulting from too-short-skirts/pants/shorts and exposed skin hitting the banked track. Accompanied by painful skin-sticking-to-masonite board sound.

Fishnet Burn: Similar to masonite burn, but an attractive, semi-permanent fish-scale pattern, resulting from falling while wearing fishnet stockings.

Over the top: Overhand cheat move in arm wrestling.

Take that bitch down: A call to jump the jammer and stop her any way possible.

Take downs: The semi-legal version of “take that bitch down.”

Over the rail: Pushing a skater over the barrier rail onto the floor.

Seymour: Lux’s pet hematoma.

2 lap duel: Two skaters, two laps, anything goes…

Spank Alley: Where you go when you’ve been bad.

Pack em up!: Fight yell by Ref Masterblader before jam.

Clothesline: Straight arm block against a jammer’s throat.

Headlock: Good “take that bitch down” move, and legal if hand is open.

Red Rover: Effective block by two skaters with linked arms.

Cannonball: Deliberate fall to trip several skaters on the opposing team at once.

Solid: A great compliment about a skater’s stability and toughness.
“She’s solid.”

Cutting the track: Crossing the infield to rejoin the pack after you fall.

Clawing: A jammer pulling her way through a tough pack.

Riding the lip: One skate on, one skate off the track – now illegal.

Catching the lip: Can rip your skate off, or break your ankle in half.

Striding the Track: The best way to skate around the banked track to build up the most speed (three strides on the straightaways, two on the corners).

Pushing to the inside: When a desperate blocker pushes opponents onto the concrete infield.

Snake Drill: A practice drill in which all skaters skate single-file around the track, while a single jammer weaves through the entire line from back to front.

Stich ‘N Bitch: Team meeting where members get together to drink beer, work on uniforms, strategize, and basically … well, bitch.

She-E-Os: Founders of Texas-style roller derby: Anya Jack, April Herman, Heather Burdick and Nancy Lynn.

Purple Heart Award: Awarded to the most heinous injury of the year, usually taken home by recipient of a broken bone.

Blood and Thunder: Practice drill in which all skaters take the track and proceed to knock the hell out of each other until only one skater remains standing.

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.
