Lost in Austin


I have included in this post a few of the great acts currently playing around Austin. If you get a chance you should definately check them out. I think they all share a similarity in that every band is discernably different in their approach. I am considered new to this town, but already I have found some great entertainment that's not composed of mediocre covers of FM hits, appealing to the oakie crowd that shuffles into town every weekend (my apologies).

It is going to be interesting to see how Austin evolves over the next ten years, given its already dramatic transformation during the previous ten. If one thing is certain however, it will remain a young town full of pretention, ambition, and self-righteousness, paving the continuation of unique personal expression (he said with an overwhelming sense of pride).
