ACL Week 2 Day 2
Once again the last night of the Austin Corn Lovers Fiesta was at the White Horse. I got there after Stevie T had finished and Mitch Webb was setting up. I shot the shit with Stevie and Joe Reyes (Mitch's lead player, truly one of the best guitar players in Texas) for a bit, hung out and watched some rock. Then the Hickoids were up.
We had a decent set and by the time we went on the crowd was packing in the front of the stage. They needed our love and or corn... and we gave it to them. Good.
The night want on an on. Javier Escovedo, Sean and Zander (really great work on the 12 string and bouzouki) and the incomparable Cunto! They were doing their last set with the "new" bass player. Those guys have has some shit luck keeping bass players. They also did a bunch of cool new songs (and many of the hits!)
There was a threat that we were gonna finish things off, The Beaumonts had the last spot on the bill, but Steve Vegas had a kidney stone so there was a decent chance they wouldn't make it. Apparently he loaded up on whiskey and pain pills and was driven to the show like a strung out fake country music superstar. They ended the fiesta in a blaze of spilled beer, oxy and irreverence, just like they should.
