Los Pinkys - Papi Tino's, Austin TX - July 1, 2012

[Austin TX] We needed a place to see friends, and ideally music, at noon on a Sunday. The possibilities were not endless. And so we discovered Papi Tino’s and the conjunto band Los Pinkys. All served with a fat dose of Austin hipsterdom – the little jar glasses, receipts in mini beach bags, the aged wood trim, and I still haven’t gotten over the perfect rickety wooden fence. I don’t know anything about conjunto music but the accordion wasn’t as frightening as I thought it might be and we all liked it! Even RightSide did. It was more cheerful and pleasant than oompah-y - maybe a little loud for the size of the place. The guitarist had one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen – pale wood with black inlays, and there was suspicion amongst Rockboy and ShellFish that he is a member of other bands around town.
