I was there, al, and without being too full of myself I can attest that it was AWESOME. The room was full. The Donuts were Austin City Limits tight and poised. The sound was excellent. My perspective shifted during the Head’s set, but it felt really good during our time on stage as well. We played with the right mix of energy and precision. We were connected to each other and to the crowd. Really fun night, even better than a day at the office!
Both bands played really well, the sound was excellent and the crowd was great. Tough to pick a winner. It was probably a tie musically, so it really came down to whether you preferred the Head’s exquisite sartorial choices or my fantastic porn ‘stache. No video of the Donuts but here’s some Nixon’s Head head for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGXel_m4Wfs
While we’re on the subject of HVB’s Holy Trinity, I was shocked to discover that the Rev. Bill Gibbons had a Les Paul hollowed out because it was too heavy and his strings are 7’s. I can’t argue with the sound he gets but this feels like he perpetrating some kind of fraud on the unsuspecting public.
What’s on my mind is a review of the Mod/Pow record release show? Who’s got one? How was it?

I have not. Is it juicy?
