Red Rocket

...is an awesome band from Philly. Totally awesome dudes. We had our first RanchO event not at RanchO (due to neighbor concerns) at Charlie Alvorado's house on Saturday. It was a big hit, we got a bit of a different crowd and Charlie got this awesome bluegrass band to play outside, the name of whom embarrassingly escapes me. They fucking killed though. It was only like their second show, but they had their shit together. They played through a condenser mic and the sound quality was great. I love mixed bills.

The headliner was heavyish prog punk band from West Philly called Red Rocket (myspace.com/thisisprefuture) . Those guys are rad and their music is too. The next day we went to Polvo's (unshockingly Trip's idea) and Barton Springs (October in Austin = still 90 degrees outside). What a weird fucking summer this year. It was my first Barton Springs trip this year. I've been to the greenbelt a million times, but this was my first for Barton Springs. I was turned off maybe 2 years ago by the paying for parking and then the paying for going, but apparently you can park on the opposite side for free, so its not as bad as an event, when you are willing to pay 3 bucks to sit by a particular pool on a hill around a bunch of beautiful people.

Anyways, yea Red Rocket, yall better listen to their shit and go see em next time you get a chance!!!
