The Gibby And Robbie Show

Bands | Hipsters

Relatively late in the old Austin scheme of things but perhaps the ultimate expression of what it all means to keep it weird- The Gibby Haynes and Robbie Jacks Show on 101X!

Never heard it? Never knew about it? Claim that you have Austin cred? Don't think so.

Here's a bit to get you started:

So Austin. So strong. So early in the morning. How did they do it?

Double Trouble

Bands

You want to know why Stevie Vaughn got so good? It was because he spent so much time onstage waiting for Lou Ann Barton to show. I recall shows where the band would do two full sets and Lou Ann would show up for the last song or two. Still... it was good. Really good. Stevie would absolutely rock the house and get every butt in Rome Inn on the floor. Lou Ann would come on and take it to another level.

Uranium Savages

Bands

aka "Some Ukrainian Salvage" These guys (seemed like there were about 20 of them) played a huge role contributing to what is currently considered "Weird Austin". Who can forget their songs like:

  • Walking the Drag
  • Idi Amin is my yard man
  • Willie
  • Party with the Pope


  • Who's been to:

  • Spamarama
  • Halloween downtown where you must walk in a circle


    They were all things Eddy and 709. Who/what the hell is Eddy and what does 709 really mean?
