T Tex Edwards & Purple Stickpin
T. Tex Edwards is an unsung pioneer of cowpunk and honky tonk murder ballads who started out in the '70s with the punk band Nervebreakers. Thom "Tex" Edwards' whiskey-soaked vocals already had a slight country twang to them back in 1978 even as the band performed their goofy anthems while supporting the Sex Pistols in Dallas. Drawing influence from the Flamin' Groovies and the Cramps rather than the more political end of the punk spectrum, Nervebreakers were equally at home lampooning "You're the One That I Want" from Grease as they were playing it straight (relatively) with the Kinks' "I'm Not Like Everybody Else." Their original material was rousing and funny, and "My Girlfriend Is a Rock" was even a minor hit in San Francisco. The band never released a full-length record in their lifetime, even though they had an almost legendary local reputation. A live performance of them backing Roky Erickson at the Dallas Palladium in 1979 was released in 1992, and a posthumous CD recorded in 1980, We Want Everything, was finally released by Get Hip in 2000.
Edwards' first post-Nervebreakers outfit, Tex & the Saddle Tramps, left scarce but vital documentation, such as the churlish rocker "Move It!" that later would appear on the Loafin' Hyenas record and be covered by LeRoi Brothers. Still most of the T. Tex legend from the early to mid-'80s remains only in the recollections of those fortunate enough to catch him performing his offbeat brand of incorrigible country live. His growling redneck delivery is at times unhinged, but it's instantly recognizable, highly addictive, and consistently manages to hit the narrow margin between parody and reverence, often accomplishing both.
He formed Out on Parole in Austin in 1984, and Loafin' Hyenas in Hollywood in 1986, but it took until 1989 before things finally started moving forward. His first solo album -- as T. Tex Edwards and Out on Parole -- was a stroke of demented genius that caused a stir when cult label Sympathy for the Record Industry released it yet proved more an inspiration than the chart-topper it should have been. Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill was a collection of "psycho-country" covers done with a relatively straight face and high musical pedigree -- LeRoi Brothers/Fabulous Thunderbirds alumni Mike Buck was the driving force behind the album. It's not only Johnny Cash who wrote dark country and western songs of adultery and murder; Pardon Me collects obscure, nutty gems from the likes of Johnny Paycheck (the title song), Porter Wagoner ("Rubber Room"), and Lee Hazlewood ("Girl on Death Row"), not to mention the twisted genius of Leon Payne's "Psycho." The same ground would be covered in the following decade, sometimes with song selections oddly similar to Pardon Me, but rarely with the same gravelly brilliance. — JT Lindroos, All Music Guide

GREEZY WHEELS
One of the greatest bands you never heard in your life, unless you live in Austin or New York City, as they've played there too. GREEZY WHEELS is led by Cleve Hattersley and his incredibly talented wife, Sweet Mary, along with Cleve's sister Lissa. A more creative trio you'll never find. Formed in the '70s, the WHEELS were the house band for the infamous Armadillo World Headquarters and headlined or opened first Austin gigs for everyone from the Flying Burrito Bros. to Frank Zappa. They practically owned the stage at the legendary Lone Star Cafe in New York City. Then, the hiatus began. It wasn't supposed to last 25 years.

MATT TOLENTINO BAND
Their music is a lot of fun, an energetic blend of hot music, that tips the hat to everything from Bix Beiderbecke to Gus Viseur, Bob Wills to Lionel Belasco. Their music is guaranteed to get you up out of your seat and out on the dance floor. The band covers everything from hot jazz to western swing, French mussette to early calypso. Few things are off limits to the Matt Tolentino band!
The Matt Tolentino Band never fails to give the dancers plenty of hot rhythms to dance to, but one thing Matt always insists on is variety. You can always count on the boys to slip in rhumbas, waltzes, and other varieties in rhythm, just to keep things interesting for the dancers.

BREWS, BRAHMS & BEETHOVEN
Open Classical Artist Series
"Lev Aronson Festival Concert"
Lev Aronson was one of the more legendary cello teachers that ever lived. This week of cello playing and teaching is inspired by his playing, his pedagogy, and his enthusiastic approach to life.
Lev Aronson’s story is an incredible example of triumph over tragedy, His blossoming solo cello career was cut short by his internment in concentration camps during Word War II, and he was forced to rebuild his career after his escape. Through his journey relearning how to play the cello, he forged a new path of expression through his playing and teaching. He was Principal Cellist of the Dallas Symphont for many years, and his teaching still resonates with his students to this day. He is now considered one of the most influential cello teachers of all time.
A Fresh Concept in 300 Year Old Music The Six suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach are some of the most frequently performed and recognizable solo compositions ever written, and are also frequently performed on viola. Each suite is in a different key, but all 6 movements in each suite are in the same key. Mark Landson will premier a new concept in performing the suites, in which movements are artistically chosen from different suites and combined to create a new suite, thus providing a tonal journey through different keys which is exciting and fresh. His initial Bach “Suite of Suites” begins with the somber and powerful C minor Prelude, and ends joyously with the C major Gigue.
This week is a chance for serious cellists to learn firsthand what it is like to study in the tradition of Lev Aronson. Players and teachers from across America will come to perform and to teach in the tradition of one of the most brilliant teachers that ever lived. It will be an invaluable experience to be immersed in the atmosphere of the S.M.U. Meadows School of the Arts where Lev taught for many years, and to play alongside the most accomplished cellists and pedagogues in the world. Come to this once in a lifetime event to experience the most vocal approach to cello playing in a conservatory atmosphere
8PM ― $10 ($5 student and classical open mic performers)
