the only benefit to this show was that it made me realize how much magic these punk Texans do with their old country, this band just didn’t get it

fantastic dark country, noodling like a spaghetti western, actually casting long shadows on the wall behind them, no vocals, prog to me but surf guitar to Rockboy, really liked them

I almost couldn’t discern her effortless beautiful tang of a voice, good rockabilly, better than WT by far, the sound was really bad

I love him more everytime I see him – big crush - “An impassioned multi-instrumentalist unleashing a brutal cacophany with the fury of someone whose check from the Devil finally cleared.

Only the Meteors Are Pure Psychobilly (this is what people chant at their shows)

honky tonk – we tried to define it apart from country and came up with twangy guitar, pedal steel guitar, Hawaiian guitar sounds (I say), and traditional uptight singing, I don’t much like the style but it strikes much nostalgia in Rockboy

he was near toothless and truly short and heartbreakingly addicted to crowd adoration

I think I do have a crush on him, dark shadowed face and face scruff with the low hat, he has a knack for picking the beautiful songs (unless he writes them?)

very bland country rock and bluegrass, a crowd pleaser I guess
