NUMERO GROUP: LOCAL CUSTOMS: LONE STAR LOWLANDS INTERVIEW (PODCAST #1)

So while we perused  Vice's record reviews for this month, getting ideas of who to interview and who to book(sorry other blogs, we do this all time); we came upon a little write up that peaked our interest.  This review talked about a record that focuses on a time "when “being in a band” meant you looked like a long-haired roustabout in your 30s and sang lite-bluesy Bread-esque odes to buying a house/having a kid/cheating on your old lady that sound like they were recorded in a jam session where everybody was sitting on their amps."  Now if that doesn't spark your interest, I don't know what will.  We all spent time in our Dad's '85 Honda Accord driving around and having him explain what a 'toke' was, listening to KZPS, and eating combination burritos.  

This compilation speaks a certain part of our lives.  Local Customs: Lone Star Lowlands chronicles a period "long after the Bopper's plane crashed and the Winter brothers (Johnny and Edgar) and Janis Joplin split". A time when "Texas' Golden Triangle was home to a vibrant scene of musicians, songwriters, and entrepreneurs just trying to make it in Houston, let alone the world."  Rob Sevier, the man responsible for the research and archival of this material, sat down with us on Tuesday and talked a little about the goals of the Local Customs series, the 70's, the importance of capturing a local scene, and liberal capitalism.  Get the podcast, share it with your pops over a cold one, and have a great weekend.  Maybe he'll talk to you about that time he and your mom 'T.C.B.''d on a 'stone groove' with a 'system'.

JULIAN LYNCH INTERVIEW

Last Tuesday, We Denton Do It hosted a show at J & J’s Pizza, where we got to catch up with Julian Lynch.  It came at an interesting time for both of us--Julian had been given Pitchfork’s coveted “Best New Music” rating a day earlier, and this was our site’s first “non-house show”.

Julian is one of those people who is impossible not to like.  He approaches his live performance differently than his recorded album. He grabs wind instruments, some effects pedals and jams out a set. Watch the interview for his take on music, education and performance.


Soft Healer Interview and Performance

We had the chance to sit down with Soft Healer on the eve of our first non-house show. Hailing from Austin, TX, you should probably keep one wayfarer'd eye on this band.

In our interview, they talk about 'the velvet rut' that Austin can become, how man keeps better time than machine, and stereotypes associated with the 'live music capital of the world'. Although they hit on the fact that so many Chaco-clad, earth army folks choose to stay in Austin and 'just rut', a new group of musicians is on their way, wah pedals in tow. Music doesn't pay the bills, but it sure as hell is fun.
