1/2 –1 hour set like one song in their black hole, reminiscent of Black Sabbath, old school hard-driving rock, dark dark, both guitarists faced drummer away from audience—drummer God of the band supposedly, liked their hole a lot

kick-ass industrial dance with hot girl lead vocal, little punk guitar, drum, someone else—kind of messed up—supposedly not playing or only miming to a recording, whatever, freshest music I’ve heard (yet) in Austin

Thursday night regular to regulars from Hole in the Wall, apparently musician studios who banded only due to Hole in the Wall, lots of variety, mostly covers, solid good rock, exchanged singership, old drinking crowd
