The Moles were a 90s-era Australian indie rock band led by Richard Davies. 22 years after the band’s sole debut full length, Davies reignited the band with cohorts from Sugar and Sebadoh for a new album, Tonight’s Music in August 2016 (Fire Records). Listen on Spotify HERE.
The Revelators from Columbia, MO are a seminal garage rock outfit on Crypt Records, led by Austin’s own John Schooley, playing their first show in 20 years. The bass-less three piece had two notable releases on Crypt Records. The first, We Told You Not To Cross Us…, is still viewed as one of the greatest punk/garage/roots albums of all time.
Lap steel blues singer Sonny Rhodes is the legendary self-proclaimed Disciple of Blues and multiple award-nominated recording artist. Under his birth name Clarence Smith, he played bass occasionally for blues greats like Freddie King and Albert Collins. In 1958 he recorded his first single, “I’ll Never Let You Go When Something Is Wrong”, for Austin based-label Domino Records.Throughout the 70s and 80s he recorded over 200 songs as Sonny Rhodes, touring consistently to this day.
The Dropouts from San Antonio, TX were a beloved garage rock band, who now play their first show in Austin in 20 years. The band rose to prominence during the 90s garage explosion, releasing recordings on Austin/San Antonio label, Unclean Records.
