Its amazing how far we've come. Last year at this time, we were playing limited opening gigs at small Austin and DFW clubs to crowds of 50 or 60 people. On Thursday, we played at Austin's top venue, The Mohawk, for a packed crowd that spilled out the front door into the Mohawk patio area. Earth clubs are so cool.
On Friday we opened for Sherwood at Dallas's chic Door Ballroom - aka - Gypsy Ballroom. Over 700 groovy youths packed the place. Rock'n'roll.
I wonder where we'll be next year?

Robot army takes Austin
It was a good week for us in Austin:
From the Austin Chronicle:
"The Frontier Brothers venture toward intergalactic indie rock, a cacophonous combination of jarring guitar, jingly piano pop, and weird science lyricism. The local trio's sophomore showing, Solar Power Struggle!, boots up like the Who's abandoned sci-fi rock opera Lifehouse as interpreted by Harry & the Potters: playfully anthemic. "

From Soundcheck Magazine:
"The Frontier Brothers - Mohawk: Ok, I have an embarrassing admission to make in such a public forum: I only recently discovered The Frontier Brothers. I know. I know. Where the hell have I been, right? What can I say? I’m making up for lost time, though. They will be at Mohawk on Thursday and I am going to be there. You?"

From the Onion:
"Though their name suggests yet another backwoods alt-country act, the only frontier The Frontier Brothers are interested in exploring is the final one. Last years Solar Power Struggle! EP canvassed the cosmospowered buy a rocket fuel of '80s synth lines, crunchy new-wave guitars, and bouncy ben Folds piano, with leader Marshall Galatic-whose official bio says that he hails from Neptune (in the future, no less)- croaking out joyously punky songs about robots and interplanetary transmissions. It's all a bit on the silly side, but the Fort Worth band, a recent transplant to Austin, is nothing if not contagious, and the preponderance of '60s harmonies and harmonicas help keep one foot fimly planted on the ground."

And last but not least, a photographer came over to our house from Study Breaks magazine, a seedy gossip rag catering to young earthlings. Oh wait, some would say we're young earthlings.
Just wait until the day they find out otherwise.
