Mistake by the Lake: Last call at Uncle Billy's

Uncle Billy's Lake Travis, the barbecue restaurant/microbrewery/live music venue at Oasis, Texas, has closed its doors as of today, Monday November 12th. It will re-open for the remaining dates on its music calendar, and for any private parties already booked. Ownership of the space, which includes two floors, a state-of-the-art brewing system, a professional stage, and a capacity of 1100+, reverts to Oasis main man Bo Theriot.

The original Uncle Billy's Brew & Que was opened in 2007 on Barton Springs Road in South Austin, combining Texas barbecue with the brewing wizardry of Brian "Swifty" Peters (who left the company earlier this year to co-found his own brewpub/pizzeria, the Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company). A second, much larger location, Uncle Billy's Lake Travis, opened its doors in November of 2010...

Bubble Puppy and The Krayolas at Antone's Friday July 13th

When the members of Texas' Bubble Puppy came together in 1966, the psychedelic/rock "big bang" was complete. They connected the cosmic dots between folk, psychedelia, and guitar-based heavy rock, and thus gave birth to the musical revolution that would define the late-60's & early-70's. "Hot Smoke And Sassafras" went from a regional hit, to the song that cemented International Artists Records' and Bubble Puppy's spot in musical lore.

Signed to Houston’s legendary International Artists imprint, the foursome were label mates of such hallowed acts as Roky Erickson's 13th Floor Elevators and the Red Krayola, but "A Gathering of Promises", the group’s sole International Artists album, stands out from the rest of the roster with its rich vocal harmonies and heavier, Cream/Hendrix/Allman Brothers sound.
 

Descended from Corpus Christi garage kings the Bad Seeds, Bubble Puppy’s tripped out calling card was its combination of soaring, fuzz-drenched guitars, frantic drumming, stop-on-a-dime arrangements and tight, graceful harmonies. Songs like the manic “Lonely”, the cryptically twisting “I’ve Got to Reach You” and the majestic, guitar-searing “Hurry Sundown” prove that Bubble Puppy was far more than just a one hit wonder.

Now, in 2012, original members of Bubble Puppy, Rod Prince, Todd Potter and David "Fuzzy" Fore have reformed along with Mark Miller and Jimmy Umstattd, to bring their pioneering psych/rock sound to a new generation of fans....

With a 35-year history, San Antonio's Tex-Mex garage-rock greats, The Krayolas have been hailed as the "Mexified Beatles", and "As close as you can get to The Who sings Bob Dylan". They are regulars on Sirius XM's "Kick Out the Jams!" with Dave Marsh and "Little Steven's Underground Garage", as well as on “Roots & Branches of Americana” with Ray Wylie Hubbard on KNBT-FM.

 Bubble Puppy will perform LIVE on the fabled stage of Antone's in Austin, Texas for the first time ever on FRIDAY, JULY 13th. Special guests for this show will by The KRAYOLAS. Doors open at 10:00pm, Bubble Puppy plays at 10:30pm, and The Krayolas take to the stage at Midnight. Advance Ticket are $13.00 (Online at www.antones.net), and will be $15.00 at the door.

Look Out, Houston!

I'll be making my H-Town debut with Lone Star Hippie, George Kinney, Glenn Bryant Band, and Red Dog & The Fleas at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar, 1031 E. 24th Street, Houston, Texas, this Friday night June 22nd.

Kashmere Stage Band at Antone's June 30th

Antone's and Mal Thursday present Kashmere Stage Band, the legendary 25-piece funk orchestra featured in the award-winning documentary Thunder Soul, Saturday night June 30th at Antone's, 213 W. Fifth Street in downtown Austin. With special guests Hard Proof Afrobeat. Tickets available now at http://www.antones.net/event/128231/.

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul: Clarence “Blowfly” Reid

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul: Clarence “Blowfly” Reid

Austin, Texas (May 24, 2012) – The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul series continues Saturday night June 9^th, when legendary soul vocalist/producer/songwriter Clarence Reid brings both sides of his public persona to the Scoot Inn Bier Garten stage with a set of his '60s R&B hits followed by a full set of the funky, filthy rhymes of his alter ego, the one, the only, the legendary godfather of Hip Hop, Blowfly.

According to his Wikipedia entry, “as Blowfly, Reid has recorded numerous albums, mostly of sex-based parodies of other songs, as well as original raps themed around sex. Reid started off writing songs for artists including Betty Wright, Sam & Dave, Gwen McCrae, and KC & the Sunshine Band. He also recorded many songs of his own in the '60s and '70s including the hit ‘Nobody But You Babe.’

“Reid would write sexually explicit versions of current hit songs for fun, but only performed them for his friends at parties or in the studio. In 1971, he recorded a whole album of 'dirty' songs under the name Blowfly. At the time, no record label would release profane material so he distributed the records himself on his own independent record label, Weird World.”

This will be Blowfly’s first Austin appearance since his sold-out show at Emo’s during South by Southwest 2010, when Reid was in town to promote the internationally-acclaimed documentary The Weird World of Blowfly.

D-Madness Project opens the show at 9, with Subkulture Patriots playing the after-show set inside at 12:30 a.m. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Presented by Mal Thursday, in association with The Scoot Inn, Atomic Jukebox, Black Media Council, Fleshlight, and Blowfly International.

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul continues July 14^th with Texas soul legend Roy Head (“Treat Her Right”). The Scoot Inn is located at 1308 East Fourth Street in Austin.
