Episode 304: Bad Acid (Atx) [Austin, TX] {Garage/Noise Rock}

Episode 304 features Bad Acid (ATX) from Austin, Texas. We will be playing a show together in March for a South by Southwest showcase that I gave been putting together, so I wanted to get them on the show. In the episode, I spoke with Keith Moore, a longtime veteran of the scene. I featured their new track “Stations” on this episode. Their sound could loosely be described as garage rock with some elements of punk. Our show will be at The Liberty Bar on East 6th Street on March 13th with former guests of the show Brian Wolff & Dominic Delaney, & Brendan Lane, among others. So if you are in town for the conference, feel free to stop by. Austin is always a great time during South by week, and I highly recommend getting down there one year if you haven’t been. This will be the first of a few episodes featuring Austin bands, as I often do in March. In the conversation, we talked a lot about the changing scenery of Austin, avoiding becoming jaded, and art as a whole. Thanks for listening and supporting local musicians.
