Show Pics: A Night Out In Austin (11/29)

I love the shows that happen during the Thanksgiving weekend. Students are home, it is usually local bands hanging out with friends, perhaps getting back from the road or just popping up to keep sharp before heading into the studio. Last Saturday was just that kind of night with two of my favorites in Night Drive and Shivery Shakes at Cheer Up Charlie’s and Holy Mountain, respectively. As a bonus, I got to see The David Ruffins and Ishi and so many friends that things degraded into full on shenanigans. Yes, shenanigans, full on. #lightpaintingcockandballs

Back to the music, The David Ruffins sounded like Austin “in the day”, Ishi brought the kimono-beard dance party, Night Drive made a point to engage every single person in the crowd before heading off to the studio (yay!) and Shivery Shakes sounded super tight after a stint on the road.

Click through and let me take on a visual journey…

So, Cheer Up, suggested cover, chat with Rodney of Night Drive about the future, stroll to Holy Mountain, $3, koozies, warn friends the flash on your phone is on, cold beer, say hi to photo friends, procure beverage, listen to The David Ruffins and long for Steamboat, mosey back to Cheer Up, dance to Ishi, politic a little, dance a whole lot to Night Drive, confetti, back to the Mountain for Shakes, damn they are on point and in the groove after the tour, clear vinyl is a hot commodity, end the night at Side Bar just cuz.
