A little roundup of some of the boots that I found walking around 6th Street in downtown Austin, TX.
India and I returned once again to the newly painted Little Joy for their weekly Country Night. Joe spun his records for most of the evening, playing tunes by Bob Willis and the Texas Playboys, Flatts and Scruggs and Hank Williams. We even found a couple of style finds including blue suede shoes (happy bday Elvis), a cool shirt with horses, and Zachary Sluser, the director of Phosphorescent’s “A Picture of Our Torn Up Praise” video (top picture, left). A successful outing if I do say so myself.
Though Rafael normally sits behind the camera (he is our resident video guy and shoots all of the Garden Party segments), he came into work yesterday wearing this amazing shirt so I forced him into doing a backyard photo shoot.
The first song I heard when I stepped into the Little Joy last night was Townes Van Zandt’s “Dead Flowers.” An inspired start to the evening, if you ask me. From that point on, Cowboy Nick (of KXLU and KCSN ), Fred Kiko (of KXLU’s Demolisten) and Chad Brown (of CB Brand) put on one of the best sets that I’ve heard at the Little Joy, spinning Don Williams’ “Tulsa Time”, Steve Young’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”, and I think it was Jerry Jeff Walker’s version of “LA Feeway.” Check out photos of the evening below.
