The Damn Times
Another relatively slow day in terms of number of bands seen, but they were all great. And I got to see one of my favorites twice! After dropping one of the out-of-towners off at the airport, I hauled ass downtown to try to catch the first band of the day. They'd already started, but luckily I caught a good portion of Wounded Lion's set @Shangri-La. Next, it was off to Spider House to see the Woggles, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Bass Drum of Death and Dávila 666. After a short break, went to Cheer Up Charlie's and saw Wounded Lion (again!) and Personal and the Pizzas. Finished off the evening @Legendary White Swan with the Damn Times and the Sons of Hercules!
Free Week Friday @Beerland. I'd never seen the Bad Lovers before and they kicked ass. I've seen Manikin a time or twenty, and they always rock. The Damn Times were active during my time living in the musical desert (i.e. not in Austin), but I'm glad they played this gig 'cuz they were frickin' great! I hope they keep playing together. This was also the first chance I got to hear the Hex Dispensers' new lineup. As expected, they too brung the rock!
