Poodie's Stomps Out Butts

The club calendar from local booker David Cotton had a quick note attached: “For those of you who don't know, Poodie’s went nonsmoking as of July.” That’s akin to suggesting Willie Nelson cut off his braids and let his hair go gray. Whoops, that’s already happened, too! Call it a neon sign of the times.

Face to Face with Chris Gerniottis

“I thoroughly like the Ugly Beats because they have the Sixties sound dialed in precisely. They're one of the tightest bands I've ever seen, and they're all down-to-earth musicians.” So raves the singer of Sixties Texas garage rock heroes Zakary Thaks, Chris Gerniottis, who's playing with the Ugly Beats and Eve & the Exiles Saturday at the Continental.

Bluesmen & Pink Ribbon Cowgirls

Did Brenda Hutchison and Nick Curran know each other? Their deaths were about a week apart, both from battles with cancer that were hard fought. Both left earth much too young, and both dedicated part of their lives to the music that makes Austin so special.

Shirley Manson: Still Mysterious and Delicious

At the top stood Shirley Manson, audacious, eloquent, and possessed of a voice that defined the decade. New CD Not Your Kind of People signals the band's return.

Consquently, when he was approached by Karyn Scott to play for Kids In a New Groove Thursday at the Long Center, the only answer was “yes.” KING provides private one-on-one music mentorship to kids in the Texas foster care system.

Once a Monkee ...

He’s personable, he’s witty, occasionally self-deprecating, and although he joked, “There are some who might not agree,” Micky Dolenz has led a pretty charmed life. As a child actor in the Fifties, he starred in the series Circus Boy, but it was an audition for one particular television show that made a Monkee out of him.
