The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Blind Pets’ flammable rock has been a favorite here since the local trio’s 2010 disc Smashed, and its equally raucous follow-up, last year’s Sweet Tooth. The Good Music Club bottled three songs at its second ND taping.
“Smashed”
“Leash”
“Every Bodies”

San Francisco native Raoul Hernandez crossed the border into Texas on July 2, 1992, and began writing about music for the Chronicle that fall, debuting with an album review of Keith Richards’ Main Offender. By virtue of local show previews – first “Recommendeds,” now calendar picks – his writing’s appeared in almost every issue since 1993. More by Raoul Hernandez
