Hi hi. Almost Friday! Almost Friday WITH essential services like water and power (mostly, right??) Should make for a better weekend than last.
I got tied up yesterday after the show and didn’t get to post, my b.
*Austin FC players may be the new guys in town but they’re already making a big impact on the community. Talk about “Verde”, Austin FC’s GoFundMe to benefit those affected by the winter storm last week has raised over $45,500.00 (and counting). Need more reasons to be a fan of your new home team?
*Catching up on Wild Cards here; Dinosaur Jr. will release their new record “Sweep It Into Space” on April 23rd. I chose “I Ran Away” for a Wild Card mainly cause J Mascis rules!
*I know we got some Dolly Parton stans out there, yes? Tomorrow night on Austin PBS – KLRU, check out “Dolly Parton: I Will Always Love You” at 8pm.
*Our next Wild Card hot off the email presses (is that a thing?) courtesy of Real Estate. New EP “Half A Human” out on 3/26/21 on Domino Records. We played the title track.
*Race cars, concerts, rugby, and now VACCINES. Circuit of the Americas will test run it’s plan to be our areas first mass vaccination site this Saturday. The goal this weekend is to vaccinate 3,000 people. Educators and community health staffers have pre-arranged appointments for the trial run. The goal is to vaccinate 50,000 people a week at COTA, with 800,000 jabs administered by July of this year. https://www.austintexas.gov/covid19-vaccines
*More Wild Cards! We so cray. I chose this one from Tune-Yards mainly cause I have fond memories of being coaxed by Andy to check them out many Fun Fun Fun Fests (RIP) ago. “They’re weird, but you’ll like em” is close to how I remember Langer sellin Merrill Garbus and co. Check out “Hold Yourself”
Holler at me! Find me on socials @Trevininaustin. 1 more day til FriYAY! Let’s Gooooo!
