The Sword - Waterloo Records, Austin TX - August 23, 2010


[from Austin, TX] this was Waterloo’s first in-store in the parking lot to my knowledge – a regular insisted it had happened before – oh, was it grand – people as far as the eye could see – and people of all sorts: high school kids smoking pot out of a little ceramic cigarette in front of us (I almost took the sweet little girl heading down the bad path in her NIN t-shirt aside to tell her not to let those boys convince her to do what she didn’t want to) – Raoul Hernandez of the Chronicle to our left, being schmoozed – the beautiful dregs of Austin came out for this free show – we’d seen the band and remembered them as a Black Sabbath cover band with original songs – and, Waterloo did pipe Black Sabbath through the speakers the entire time we waited for the band, but the band actually has a bit more speed metal in them than Black Sabbath – they’re a good show but not sure how much I’d listen to them recorded – on the other hand, the fans lined up, albums in hand, and Waterloo Records was once again saved, at least for now (Photo courtesy of https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2010-08-27/1073797/)
