Club 1808, Austin, TX. December 15, 2009

Here's a shot from a show we played December 15, 2009 at a little bar in Austin, TX on our tour to FL for the holidays. We'd gotten thrown on the bill at the last minute -- it was kinda a weird show. We played with rockabilly and punk bands, and the bar was run by dudes who were playing hip hop and soul music in between sets (really good stuff, actually). One of the guys working the door was kinda crazy -- he talked our ears off obsessively about some sort of legal battle he was going through with someone who had stolen his "ideas", and he kept praising God and demonstrating his professional dance moves. The show actually went pretty well, and a lot of people were into us, something I didn't expect due to the bands we were playing with. After the show we got drunk and played cheap pool, and then retired to Motel 6 where our dogs were patiently awaiting us. It was a fun night, even though the final band, Combat Shock, took the money that was due to us ($25). Kinda lame, but no one told us we were getting paid and we didn't find out about it 'til we'd left Austin. Live and learn.
