billy?

My Disco destroys all life.

Wow.

Alot of stuff to peruse.

My Disco has the shit.

Wicketran has moments.

I have lived in Austin for many a moon, so Paul Newman and Johnboy are well known entities in every sense of the word.

Austin used to have a nice prog/math kind of scene in the mid 90s.

Glorium
Gut
Polio
Sap
Big Horny Hustler
Andromeda Strain
Myra Manes
Boy Wonder

There are others I am forgetting. All of the above released vinyl.

I guess there weren't that many such scenes nationally, or the other scenes wnet more national while Austin's stayed relatively local.

Thanks for the heads up on some of these.

You probably heard them but if not then get their first 2 albums. They rule all.

I saw them play an in store at "Sound Exchange Records" in Austin in '97 (I think) and they were fantastic....I don't remember thinking they were math rock, though, but my memory is fuzzy....

Is the band "I love You but I Have Chosen Darkness" any good? One of Paul Newman's members is in that band.....

I used to like Paul Newman, but their music does get a bit boring at times. Though it is refreshing to hear math rock without guitar distortion.

Zulu as Kono were one of the best things I ever heard come out of Austin. It was a pleasure to get to know those dudes.

ring, cicada

Their last album with the old lineup pretty much rules. Recorded with Steve I think also, but could be wrong. Haven't heard the new stuff.

i remember being in Milwaukee when math rock was all the rage. what a fuckin' joke!

Their drummer is amazing and I love his band, but the drumming on "I" is programmed.

dysrhythmia.
