The Strange Boys - B-Scene at the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin TX - October 3, 2008

[from Austin TX] the Chronicle was correct to classify this band within the cream of Austin – they are infectious plus interesting enough to be enduring - the lead singer is inexpressibly darling and delicious, in his dark elfish-ness with a T Rex voice and mischievous knowing smiles – with his voice and a competent band, every audience I’ve seen has been unable to not dance – which was unfortunate in the case of this crowd: the drunk college artistes stumbling around in their European knee-length jean shorts and vintage cowboy shirts were amusing but the thought of the middle-aged couple grinding in New Age slow motion with their general total lack of sexiness and 80s perms still puts me in an uncomfortable place between admiration for out-there sex and personal aversion (Photo courtesy of https://levitation-austin.com/2018-photos/apf-2008-photos/)
