ACL Week One Day One.
It was the Hickoids at the Longbranch. I got there as Black Salve was finishing up. Great crowd for for the first day of the fest. A pleasant surprise. You could tell there was a lot of out of town "talent" in the club. Folks keeping the party going all weekend. Why not, it's a music vacation and one of the best things to do in Austin.
Can you say my favorite word? Backline! The only gear I carried was my bass and some cords. So easy. And parking is FREE in East Austin. Ahhh...
The Bulemics were up next they whipped it for a quick half hour. Followed by the Dolly Rockers. They have a seriously good looking singer! And a couple of the Poor Dumb Bastards in the group. They brought the ugly, she brought the hot!
PDB were next. They started out the second song and it was all screwed up. Byron stopped then restarted and whipped it. I love it when a band restarts a song. I know it can look "unprofessional" or something, I look at it as humans make mistakes and they can get past them.
We went on a little after one. Our theme for the night was classic Hickoids. All old stuff, nothing from the new records. It was a drunken orgy of stupid. Smitty started saying "Show us your tits!" A couple of ladies whipped them out (yeah!) and then several guys took their shirts off and started rubbing on each other and kinda wrestling and bro hugging (no!) Bringing it back to ancient Greece when men could stand shirtless with other shirtless men and make the band feel uncomfortable...
Infest with the Ladies tonight.
