| The Damnations TX, Gourds, Slobberbone, Damon Bramblett, Mike NicolaiStubb's, Friday 19
The highly touted, long-awaited, oft-delayed, major-label debut from Austin's foremost up-and-coming country-rock collective, known nowadays as the Damnations TX, is here at last. Half Mad Moon it's called, and believe me when I tell you it's well worth the wait. From the bass groove that signals the opening track "Unholy Train" to the resoundingly hopeful and luminescent chorus of the last song, Mike Nicolai's "Catch You Alive," Half Mad Moon is a testament to a band that has, by playing their dues, come into a fully realized sound of its own. This CD release party is bound to be one hell of a party, too, as they will be joined by special guests the Gourds, who have their own CD release coming soon, local country crooner Damon Bramblett, Denton rockers Slobberbone, and Mike Nicolai, who returns from his new home base in Seattle for the show. |
