The crew with some rad vinyl reissues from Austin punk visionaries, Big Boys. Their debut, sophomore, & final album have been remastered and released on limited-edition colored vinyl. All three are out today, Friday 03/29/24! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ •𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 - 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗹 / 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 (𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘲𝘶𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘭)⠀ ⠀ •𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 - 𝗡𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗔𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁! (𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘭)⠀ ⠀ •𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 - 𝗟𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗛𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 (𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘺𝘭)⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ They strived to do it on their own terms with no apologies. This Austin, Texas band emerged in the ’70s, bringing punk rock with blends of punk and funk, innovating their own style. They eliminated obstacles by throwing themselves into complete no-man’s-land with their albums. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #recordstores #houstonvinyl #cactusmusic #cimsmusic #houstonvinylstore #houstonrecordstore #vinyladdict #recordcollection #vinylcollector #indieisbetter ⁣⁣#nowspinning #vinylrecord #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #shopsmall #shoplocalhouston #bigboys #randybiscuitturner #newmusicfriday

The crew with vinyl 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗦 of #LaetitiaSadier’s newest release ‘Rooting For Love’ and some classic @Stereolabgroop jams in time for you to pre-game before her show tomorrow Thursday, March 28th at @WhiteOakMH. ⠀ 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Her songs score the complexities and harmonies within this directive: organ, guitar, bass, synth, trombone, vibraphone, live and programmed drums, and a vocal assembly of men and women billed as The Choir, working intricate chord/tempo/and dynamic changes, as Laetitia’s empathic presence leads the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #houstonmusicclubs #houstonthinhstodo #houstonnightlife #houstonnightlife #houstonmidmain #houstonlivemusicscene #houstonlivemusic #houstonmusicclubs #thingstodoinhouston #livemusichouston
