It appears Austin City Limits has begun to reveal some of this year's artists ahead of Tuesday's big lineup announcement . In years past, ACL has distributed lottery cards to merchants throughout downtown Austin that when scratched revealed the name of artists playing the festival. However, this year the festival has taken a new approach, utilizing beer koozies (!) and the classified section of The Austin Chronicle . On Thursday, four "ads" appeared in in The Austin Chronicle , each featuring not so subtle reference to four artists: fun., Grouplove, Shovels [...]
Austin City Limits durante el atardecer. El festival Austin City Limits se mostró "creativo" y usó la sección de anuncios clasificados del periódico Austin Chronicle para insinuar que fun. , Grouplove , Shovels & Rope y True Believers formarán parte del cartel 2013. Abajo les compartimos una fotografía de la última edición del tabloide en la cual pueden encontrar líneas como "For a little Fun. Call 555-ACL-FEST" o "Seeking True Believers. Worship with us! #ACLFEST" . ¿Demasiado obvio? Dejando a un [...]
photo by Dave Lichterman ( view set ) That True Believers ' posthumously released second is called Hard Road is no joke. The Alejandro and Javier Escovedo-led Austin band hit the major pitfalls of the 802s music industry starting with a big local buzz that led to a rushed and underproduced first album, a lineup change dictated by their label, and a sophomore effort jettisoned just before its release as a result of a record company buyout. The Troobs, as they were lovingly called by their Austin legion fans, never realized their true [...]

photos by Dave Lichterman Alejandro Escovedo - that's all I knew about the True Believers when KEXP's lineup for SXSW at Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop was first announced. OK, then someone mentioned it was his mid 802s band, a crew that had a brush with fame, but never quite broke through. They had label issues, personnel changes, unreleased albums, the works, a near miss story we have heard all too often that left True Believers an idolized and idealized fond memory for their Austin hometown fans. Decades went by [...]
I'm not sure what he's under the influence of, but whatever it is, remind me never to try any of it. As I mentioned in yesterday's post , we were checking out Austin, Texas, last week, and what a great city it is. There's a claim I read somewhere that Austin has more live music on its weekday nights than most cities have on their weekends, and from what I can tell, that's pretty close to being true. I made a point of getting out to check some of it out [...]

Operating out of a tiny Madison Avenue office in the early 1960s, a struggling company called Marvel Comics introduced a series of superhero characters that thrilled not just children but also pop artists, intellectuals, and campus radicals: The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Iron Man, Thor and Daredevil. Throughout the decades-long journey to a multi-billion-dollar enterprise, Marvel’s identity has continually shifted from scrappy underdog to corporate behemoth. Over the years, its contributors struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and, over matters of credit and control, one another. Incorporating more than one hundred original [...]

I did meet one of his friends later on in the night. He saw her standing across the dance floor and beckoned her over. She mustn't have seen him. So he said he'd be back in a second and weaved through the gyrating bodies to where she was. They chatted for a few minutes, and then she came over and sat down. Shirley was a model. From Dublin too. Well, trying to make it as a model. She knew Bono really well. He was a great bloke, she said, really dead on. She'd known him and Ali for absolute yonks, [...]

The qualities of Americana are derived from all things that define America. From blues guitar, to four chord rock-n-roll poetry, from a folk attitude to love lost and love won, from honest lyrics to a working class ethic; Americana translates musically to an identifiable sound full of grit and the human spirit. All of these ideals are represented in some form on Alejandro Escovedo ’s greatest hits package titled True Believer . Alejandro’s career spans over 4 decades as he dabbled with the San Francisco punk scene of the 70s before settling into the [...]
