Mumford & Sons & The Middle East @ La Zona Rosa 06/10








About six months ago I met this amazing person in Austin who always keeps me updated on upcoming shows and every time I am too busy or forgetful to get tickets, she comes through and hooks me up. A truly good friend. I am very thankful. Last week I got back in town; having missed several shows I really wanted to see, Neon Indian & Neil Young to name a couple. Anyway, we went to this show at La Zona Rosa the night I got back in town. Cheers Frau Obenhaus. Sorry about the shite picture, my camera is traveling at the moment. 






Chris Denny And The Natives

I want to do a little tribute to some buddies doing their thing back home in Arkansas.
You are sure to enjoy this.

The National

In a bizarre twist today I received a text message from a buddy asking me to send him a song to add to a video he was making. This seemed quite normal as he often makes videos and blogs about music. http://www.austinriffraff.net

When a follow up text arrived saying oh sorry, wrong number I was confused. Turns out Andy no longer had that number and the person on the other end made a good mistake texting me. I sent the song off to the stranger and decided to share it with you. Hopefully we can post the video when they complete it.

Anyway.. Fake Empire By the National.

Another gem coming from Brooklyn by way of Cincinnati circa '99
