Flash Boys - The Grand, SXSW, Austin TX - March 14, 2014

[Austin TX] We didn’t used to be allowed to see Austin bands, but we don’t live in Austin anymore. And a lot of the good bands were Austin! We both loved this band – they were tighter and cleaner than the previous band. Plus the lead singer was fantastic – kind of glam. Loud rollicking 70s punk. Great musicality. Some moments of Jim Carroll.  A band member asked the lead singer: “Have you bought your lawn bricks yet, Julian?”It turned out they were associated with Nick Curran, a beloved Austin musician who died of cancer when we lived there. Rockboy had an adventure with the very high lead singer in the parking lot trying to buy their album. Graffitti in the bathroom: “Everything that costs money is cheap.”
